What are our thoughts regarding posts focusing on (potentially unsavoury) views held by the author of the series?

Is [email protected] community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

    the Joe Rogan subreddit organically developed into a forum for trashing Joe Rogan

    Interesting. I don’t see why we couldn’t do something similar on Lemmy. I did a brief search, and there don’t seem to be any !jkrowling communities yet. As you seem passionate on this subject, would you be interested in helping to moderate such a community?

    the ironic meme common in community namespaces like /r/marijuanaenthusiasts being about arboriculture while /r/trees is about marijuana

    While this was a rather funny occurrence, it arose naturally due to the “trees” subreddit name being “taken”. I’m not sure it would be quite the same if we set it up intentionally, especially given that a consequence of the distributed nature of Lemmy is that community names being “taken” is rarely an issue.

    the primary community for Harry Potter on the Fediverse should exist to lead a revolt against the author

    I hear where you are coming from, but there are other members of this community who may disagree with you. We will consider our options with care, but I suspect it will not be possible to please everyone.

      I do have moderator experience and I am interested with working with you to make communities that aren’t safe spaces for bigots. I can help you mod [email protected] and [email protected] - but I don’t support creating a separate community to direct discussion of JK Rowling away from the Harry Potter community. That places news about HP’s toxic social side effects where it is easily ignored, and makes !hp a safe space for bigots.

      I think directing JK Rowling discussion from !jkisabigot to !harrypotter and HP memes from !hp to !jkisabigot is hilarious. People who join the Fediverse and look for a Harry Potter community will probably come to !harrypotter first and experience a sorting hat of sorts. If they’re not a bigot, and they learn that actual Harry Potter literature discussion happens in !jkisabigot, and !harrypotter is for the latest news on JK Rowling’s hate campaigns, they’ll get the joke. If they endorse JK Rowling’s ideology, it will send the not so subtle message that maybe the Fediverse isn’t for them.

        or maybe fuck off and leave us alone? you’re teaching nothing. nobody has learned a single thing from all your brigading and link dumping. nothing you’ve said is new.

        we get it. you hate JK Rowling. we do too. we heard you.

        your point has been heard. but sadly the internet doesn’t always bend to your will.

          I wasn’t aware about the latest funding from JRK to the trans hate actions.
