Community dedicated to the world of Harry Potter.

Mostly focused on books and fan creations, movie content is accepted but should not overwhelm the community.

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 wit the following split:

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.

We've had an chat internally and decided that we'd be happy with a community that separates HP from JKR as long as it was properly moderated in line with its purpose.

The suggestion allows for a community on another instance where JKR could be discussed in relation to HP. The merits of such a community are obvious, however we don't agree that the subject matters can't be discussed separately, if there was a demand for that community to exist.

So, we would be happy with a community to specifically discuss HP, if such a community was to be opened.

In your internal chat, have you come to a consensus that JK Rowling is or isn't transphobic? What is .zip's position on her statements?

What are your qualifications for "properly moderated" ?

That document is extremely vague and boilerplate for the task that you're taking on, don't you think?
