I really think people who are not posting anything here but JK Rowling posts should be discouraged if not a rule made for it. I think an overwhelming portion of the fan base disagree with or at least are aware of her opinions on trans people.

I like HP, I like HP memes and JK won’t see another cent from me. Which sucked because I wanted to play legends due to never getting any real solid HP games as a kid. That said, I would like a HP community that isn’t plagued with these sort of post though.

I was one of the main posters on ! leaky_cauldron@diagonlemmy.social

Since then, due to JKR funding anti trans organisations with millions of pounds, I've reassessed my position.

There is a pinned meta post in the community about this topic.

We've been discussing it between this community mods and the instance admins. The conversation is still ongoing, we'll keep you updated once a decision is made

Feel free to create this one on another instance. Be ready to get a lot of backlash if you have a rule saying "this community doesn't allow to talk about JKR actions against trans people ". You can expect defederation from a few instances, and probably the whole instance being qualified as "transphobic friendly"

In the pinned post it seems the community wants a space to talk about Harry Potter and not JKR. I don't know what you want to discuss with the mods and admins, ask the community.

There's an ongoing discussion between the two mods of the community and the admins instance for the reasons mentioned above.
