That’s reddit. They don’t want their users to bleed and the mods that are left are scabs. It will be similar with other sites and it can feel like spam. The best thing you can do is populate the lemmy with HP info and hope it kicks off one day

When I was growing up, a lot of queer kids loved HP. There is a literal potion in the books that completely changes you to another person, including sex. I know a lot of millenial trans people who were able to come out referencing that potion and scene and how they could relate or wish they had that potion.

Imo, the books aren’t that good. For elementary and middle schoolers, sure, but I don’t think JK Rowling is a good author or world builder. I believe the IP/franchise relied heavily on the audience and Rowling backstabbed her queer fans. The same goes for the new game. It’s more open world drivel and I think the only way it got this big is because idiots kept talking about it.

With all of that said, having a community on lemmy that is about Harry Potter, and they are clearly pro-trans/queer, leftists/progressives, and ban any alt-right shitters then that is very good and powerful. It’s so powerful to get more HP fans in more leftist spaces so they can incept those ideas.

No amount of claws is going to stop that gravitational force.

I don’t want us to get exactly popular, but I’d like to be big enough where the nice communities can be big and active enough. I still have to go to reddit for those and it is annoying.

How many people are using Piped, revanced, or the like? I doubt it is the majority. This move is highly likely more greed than anything.

Does Google care about our user experience? The short answer is no. Look at the intrusive ads, how long they are, them suggesting DRM, right wing pipeline, and more.

Look at how they treat their content creators. Demonetization, channel and copyright strikes, etc.

The list goes on. Youtube should and needs to be public. Internet is a utility and needed to survive by everyone. A video hosting service like Youtube is needed as well. Through every perspectice, Google is, ultimately, wrong in doing this.

What’s their take on tankies?

Is that instance stable? I tried it and it was such a slog sometimes.

Is Youtube revanced going to be affected in a similar way?

Sorry I wasn’t clear. I am asking for a direct link because idk how to search them (especially on mobile). I am a GM and I would love to move away from the reddit TTRPG communities.

What’s the worldbuilding community? How do you like to it?

Just for records sake, we can see recently with Musk and Twitter and how he manipulated NPR’s image by denoting them as “state media”.

This is how twitter and Youtube picked up pace. News organizations stsrted slowly creeping towards it and they have a lot of incentive to do so with how twitter is becoming a cesspool of Nazis and CSAM.
