It’s one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:
- The fandom/books are not the author
- Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
- In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
- We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility
Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?
Most of the people on the fediverse are adults who are most likely going to join either a general instance or a themed instance for interests for adults and not for a children’s book series, especially not one with a TERFy author
People like SpongeBob, I don’t think there is interest for a SpongeBob instance. Nevertheless if you think there is interest in it, feel free to host your own.
There is !harrypotter@literature.cafe if you want to join. There is some activity at the moment, but not enough to go for a dedicated instance.
Also, as the other comments have shown, the bigotry of the author does not help.
-
fuck J.K. Rowling and anything to do with her.
-
you want a Harry Potter themed instance? fucking make one.
I’ve obviously missed something here, but why the hatred towards Rowling?
