A place for all those who hate the transphobic, anti-rights funder J.K. Rowling
Does this community serve a purpose distinct from [email protected], or could the two be merged?
Seems to not have been active in a year?
I second the motion to try to become mod in the existing sub first. We’re still a bit too small to afford too much splintering.
Might be worth sending a request to be made mod there, unless you want very different rules (in which case probably better to have two different communities if the current people subbed are not okay with what your new rules would be), or to contribute to quokk.au over blahaj.zone
Mod here. I’d be open to adding additional moderators.
No thanks, no interest in working to improve a dead community for a mod who runs pro Harry Potter communities and Pro-Elon Musk company communities. Literally two of the worst people for pushing transphobia and you’re adding to their wealth with positive publicity.
OK, have a nice day.

Even [email protected] is mostly about denouncing JKR transphobia
That place has people talking about Harry Potter like asking questions. That’s pro-Harry Potter something completely inexcusable, the franchise should be dead and buried not talked about.

Doesn’t matter, support of Harry Potter is the problem. It directly funds JK Rowlings ability to harm trans people.
Talking about how bad she is, while in the same space positively talking about her franchise still leads to trans suffering.
You can have a look at this post for the rationale behind it: https://piefed.zip/post/103758
It seemed better to have a place named “harry potter” that would be mostly criticizing the author to make people aware of how awful she is
That’s shit reasoning, promoting transphobia is unacceptable for any reason.
Also the moderator who runs that place has been banned from Blahaj and runs communities also promoting Elon Musks companies. All signs point to them being a transphobe
Whilst I agree with the sentiment, isn’t that giving her the attention she craves? I just wish there was a way to just ignore en masse those who poison the news cycle, other than abstaining from the news myself. Like scrubbing her name off the internet, pretend she does not exist.
I’m copying and pasting this from elsewhere your sentiment was shared, so the wording might seems a bit off.
The best thing to do is to expose the evil she does until enough people are aware of her actions and the harm she causes and stop funding her through consumption of Harry Potter.
Ignoring her won’t make the issue go away at all, that’s the response lazy teachers tell children in schools so they can avoid dealing with an issue.
Ah yes that’s a very good point I’ve not considered, thank you.
