Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what’s been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)… or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?
Anyone who has a story and who understands they’d have a massive impact by giving an exclusive AMA on a Lemmy or Kbin instance.
This could be announced a few days in advance to make sure all remote instances follow the AMA community.
This is far too premature.
AMA is a high amount of trust in the moderation team. You build trust by having assurances that the AMA hosts have done their research and prove that the person is who they say they are.
Where we need to start is: who around here is even capable of hosting AMAs? Are they willing to host AMAs to build a community/subreddit’s trust? Etc. etc.
What’s really cool about the fediverse IMHO is that you can have multiple reputable media outfits run their own AMA communities… want to hear from a sports star maybe ESPN could host their own community, movie star then idk rotten tomatoes, scientist someone else, etc… the concept is really fascinating. Still not there yet though. The platform still needs to mature ( which is doing quickly) and the community needs to grow.

/r/france mod. Not booted (yet).
Not super available but I can help people show how we used to set it up in /r/france
It is not rocket science: Anyone could start an AMA but mods would automatically sticky a message with the “proof status” of OP. Usually people asked the mods beforehands on how to check proof but not always
The sticky would be saying “OP provided proof”/“OP did not provide proof, it may still be legit, but know we can’t check if it is true”.
