I posted this full press release (where DPRK condemns Israel actions both in Gaza and Lebanon) from the DPRK 3 days ago and it got no attention. Some tweet takes 1 word from the press statement without even citing the full press statement and it gets 200 upvotes and 30 comments. Hexbear is letting me down.

"Not content with the thrice-cursed massacre that stunned the world people in Gaza Strip of Palestine, Israel which is now encroaching upon the right of the Arab people to existence in the Middle East including Lebanon and the U.S. manipulating it are, indeed, the cancer-like entities of regional peace and stability and the common enemy of the Arab people."

As you can see, DPRK also uses the word "thrice-cursed" to describe Israel's actions. It's a good press statement in it's entirety. It's a shame to have it reduced to 1 single word.

In all honesty, I rarely give link posts the time of day. They're finicky to expand on the feed, I don't want to go to another site to see the content, and even if copied in the post, they're frequently are a lot of reading for likely little payoff.

On looking now, I think your post was good. But at least in my personal case, that's why it would've passed me by.

Yeah a lot of a posts "success" hinges on the time it was posted and what else is currently happnening on the site

and where it was posted too. he posted it to c/news when vast majority of people that would go to c/news to look at posts would instead be freaking out together in the news mega

The KCNA press releases are always bangers. Whoever their translator is needs a raise because the way they write these is so good, so wordy and sassy, but also straight to the point.
