Is lemmygrad.ml real or satire? (lemmy.world)

I mean, I assume it’s real. But I went there out of curiosity and they share these - sometimes obvious - fake articles or Instagram photos as “proof” that Ukrainians are all nazis. It’s all so silly, I can’t phantom the idea that it’s not just satire. Unlike China they have internet access to everything in Russia, right?

We don't claim that all Ukrainians are nazis. That's absurd. We say that it has a pretty bad nazi problem and the media are lying their asses off about pretty much everything in the war. Pointing out media contradictions about the war is fun. Here's some articles from just before the war. Nowadays these would be unprintable in the west.

Isn't it funny how enemies of the US eat babies, and allies are always saints? Everyone else just gets ignored. There's virtually no coverage of the Sudan or Yemen wars, although Sudan is in much worse shape than Ukraine. The media is too busy drumming up hate for Russia.
