What are our thoughts regarding posts focusing on (potentially unsavoury) views held by the author of the series?

Is !harrypotter@literature.cafe community a good place to discuss them, or should we hold such discussions elsewhere?

A pinned post is a possible option. Would a pinned post accomplish anything that a paragraph in the sidebar would not? I've had federation issues with pinned posts unpinning themselves on remote instances, whereas sidebars seem to federate more consistently.

A pinned post making the official stance clear similar to the reddit one should definitely exist imo – no matter what else is decided.

Still shocking that they unpinned it on Reddit, during Pride Month on top of that. Classic modern Reddit move I guess.

Pinning from a post written by a local account from a local mod account usually works.

Based on experience, pinned posts are much more visible than sidebars (those are usually hidden on mobile)
