with an instance you consider north Korean.

I don't, not sure where you picked that up at. I consider it to be a Tankie instance through and through as defined by:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

I've seen all manner of authoritarian propaganda, from pro-DPRK "They're not a brutal dictatorship, it's just western propaganda!" To pro-Russia "Ukraine is full of Nazis and Russia is just trying to protect themselves from NATO!" To pro-CCP "Censorship is actually good!"

Yeah so official they wanted world to be the top so they weren't the official one...

If they didn't want, they could've ran lemmy.ml from alt accounts so nobody would associate it with them. Then it would just be another triad instance and nobody would care. But as also covered in the spoiler you didn't read, they use this position to their advantage to push their authoritarianism further
