    Get over Harry Potter, the book was shit then and it is now.

    Seriously, the only redeeming quality is how whimsical the Wizarding World is, the actual story is bullshit, and since the whimsy goes away after the third book in favor of “Edgy Bullshit” for books 4-7, there isn’t a lot of whimsy to enjoy

    Yeah it couldn’t be clearer that she’s the UK wing of the same politics that the other billionaires like Musk and Thiel are pushing. Must be something that they all cooked up together on Epstein’s island.

      The answer, sadly, is literally most people with an internet connection and a desire for social media. And that fact makes even more people use it due to the network effect.

      No, sorry. I need to feel like I’m 9 again, and your life doesn’t really… ‘matter’. I didn’t know you when I was 9.

      I’m drinking nestle™ hot chocolate while I re-read the only book I’ve ever read too, if that makes you feel less lonely.

      She’s probably the useful idiot for someone so as long as that “need” exists she’ll be shoved (willingly) into the spotlight.

      If people stopped interacting with her she’d literally [go] away

      That’s true of literally everyone, though.

      Unfortunately, she’s a billionaire with a lot of clout and powerful friends, so it’s highly unlikely that everyone will just start collectively ghosting her any time soon.

      Those of us who see her for what she is doing so is still a good start.

        Also, she may be riding and amplifying the current wave of transphobia, but the rot runs deep. Especially in the UK, where even supposedly progressive parties and publications are just salivating at the thought of hurting trans people.

        JKR is not the source of the poop. She’s just the largest turd.

      Once you’re a world-renowned creator of a massive multimedia franchise and a billionaire that lives in a castle and uses your vast fortune to create legal troubles for a marginalized group and for anyone who points out you’re persecuting said marginalized group, there’s no amount of ignoring that will make you go away. The only way to make her go away is to aggressively fight back against her bullshit.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
