Don't they have exactly 1 Steam user, or something? They didn't disconnect the "entire" country...

The access to the real internet is restricted to a select number of elites and foreigners. Everyone else uses a private network called Kwangmyong.

FYI, there are two random " / " in your URL that break the link.

The end part should be: Kwangmyong_(network)

They are backslashes to escape the parentheses. But apparently the backslashes just get replaced with forward slashes.

They aren't necessary when posting on Lemmy. Clicking the hyperlink in your comment goes nowhere, but if you write the original link normally, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwangmyong_(network) , the link works.

I remember Reddit used to break links that ended in parentheses. Thankfully, Lemmy doesn't suffer from the same issue!
