Follow up to the discussion in this thread: https://literature.cafe/post/20498464

Given the variety of perspectives shared in that thread, I don't think that a single community will be able to satisfy everyone.

As such, I have come up with the following split:

!jkrowling@lemmy.blahaj.zone
!harrypotter@literature.cafe (this community)
!harrypotter@lemmy.zip

While it does fragment the userbase (always a risk with in the fediverse), it would put give individual users the maximum amount of choice for what posts they wish to see in their feed, and what topics they wish to discuss.

I am interested in hearing people's thoughts.

Good point about the lemmy.zip staff, looking forward their answer.

News and criticism about JK Rowling is part of the HP fan discourse. I've been told to "fuck off" like I'm an outsider, like I don't belong in the fandom because I think discussion of JK Rowling's bigotry is more important than her stories.

Same here, and I agree with you.

the existence of that community will only be used as an excuse to push Rowling criticism away from where it needs to be seen; by people actively consuming HP content.

They wouldn't be able to do so, as criticism would still be allowed here. To be fair, I don't expect a JKR only community to really get off.
