  • Propaganda isn’t just lies, like you said for all we know she might just be explaining her experience. the problem is trying to project that to an entire society for malicious slandering. in isolation we can’t find any malice in this statement, but there are plenty of other instances where we know for sure that she lies about DPRK. the most infamous being the ‘train pushing’ on JRE.

    This is why we shouldn’t take anything defectors say on face value because it comes in two parts - ‘experience’ and ‘narrative’. experience itself doesn’t have to be a lie. but the narrative they package with that experience can be malicious. For example certain parts of yenomis stories about poverty are likely true. but her narrative that it’s because of the ‘evil’ DPRK government is false.









  • modlog having different actions in different pages.

    I think you misunderstood what I meant by separate lists. That’s how they are stored internally.

    Each one of them are fetched and then COMBINED to create the view you’re seeing.

    ie. P1 of Modlog = P1 of Banned Actions + P1 of Post Removal Actions + … + P1 of Admin appointment Action


  • I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem to be the case. All pages have all kinds of mod actions. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean by “type of mod action”.

    What i meant to say is that each type of mod action has it’s on pagination and the main modlog just squishes them together based on page number. check the last items of page 1 they are all admin appointments, there are only a handful of them and they don’t happen anymore. they appear in page 1 because they belong to page 1 of it’s type


  • I have once made an alternative frontend for tiktok to bypass the indian tiktok ban. but I abandoned it because it was too much work to keep it working when they frequently make changes to the api and website. I don’t think anyone will be willing to maintain such a mess so there won’t be any alt-frontends

    I like it. The content has no substance, but that’s a feature. go there only if you enjoy goofy dances or lipsyncing. If you expect political commentary or educational content you’ll be disappointed.

    And your experience will be much better if you follow your IRL friends.
