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

Is !harrypotter@literature.cafe community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

It is the most active, has the most active subscribers, has an active mod. It's also the only one considering suppressing news about how increasing the cultural value of Harry Potter is funding hate.

All news articles about Rowling are posted all across Lemmy. It's not like people on here don't know what she is doing or what views she has. And discussion on her has way more engagement on these other Lemmy communities than in this one – because user engagement in here is not high in general. Even if this community would be shifted to only talk about her, that would not generate good discussions because there is not much engagement.

It is basically impossible to discuss anything about this fictional Harry Potter universe anywhere on Lemmy because it gets down voted into oblivion. Taking away this small corner of Lemmy that can be used for this is really not cool IMO.

Let people simply enjoy posting about childhood memories and pirating this new content while hating Rowling. Why is that so hard? For all means, create a new community exclusively focused on Rowling and trolling her. I'll support that. But this community here is not the right place for that. Because it derails the actual focus of the community.

i absolutely agree. for fuck's sake. 99% of potter communities are already jk rowling hate fests. you can't walk two feet without tripping over one. there's nothing stopping anyone from making an instance devoted to that. I'd support it.

can we just talk about the books we like in a peaceful environment? let us have like one place.

What are those?

!harrypotter@lemmy.world and !harrypotter@lemm.ee are inactive.

There doesn't seem to be any other active community besides the one we're in: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=harrypotter
