    Who made a community called “shermanposting”? Why does it feel like entire communities are made to support a single post sometimes?

      Me. I made it (originally on Kbin) as a transplant from Reddit, where it was a bastion of pro-Union sentiment. Same idea here. o7

      More precisely, it’s a repository for Civil War memes (and general non-entirely-serious Civil Warposting) that don’t glorify traitors and slavers, Sherman is a symbol of crushing secesh slavers, not the only permitted topic.
