reddit.com/r/pyongyang
From here’s one to file under WTF… I just came across one of Reddit’s more remarkable subreddits [1] ever: reddit.com/r/Pyongyang. I can’t tell if this is real or fake, and since it seems to have sprung up just recently, it’s hard to tell if this is a troll (or trolls) with too much time to spare, or real-live North Koreans on Reddit. I can’t imagine it’s the latter…
The page is decorated in a patriotic red with portraits of Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung prominently featured. All posts to the subreddit thus far have been from the latter, reddit user Kim Il Sung, who has been a user for about two weeks now – or since the afore-mentioned Kim Jong Il died.
As you might expect, freedom of speech is somewhat restricted on the Pyongyang subreddit, and the majority of comments from other users appear to get deleted. But all in all, the page is pretty darn glorious, and no doubt a great final thing for Kim Jong Il to look at from wherever he is now. I encourage you to give it a look for yourself as well.
