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 a great idea, but who would organize and run the AMA?
Obviously - we get u/chooter from Reddit to join the Federation and do it. Beloved by all, rivaled by none.
AMAs can be posted to a different instance each round based in a lottery system. That way, nobody gets all the traffic with each celebrity.
However, I would start with Lemmy.ml or Kbin.social since those are flagships.
lemmy.world is the largest english instance currently. I’d say it’s much more a flagship instance.
Anyone know how to get a hold of Victoria Taylor? She was the original AMA organizer of Reddit before they let her go.
Was her role paid? Or was she a volunteer? Because if it’s the latter I hope that she’s learned that if you’re good at something don’t do it for free tbh
Me obviously, I’m bipolar so we have to schedule amas when I’m feeling manic.
If I understood your joke correctly, then you may be confusing “bipolar” with “multiple personality disorder”. They are entirely separate things.
It’s a good idea.
Do we have a more active AMA community? All I can find is this:
Of course, for people like mods and developers, you could quite easily reach out directly. The Apollo dev is on Mastodon, the Reddit mods probably responds to reddit DMs.
As for actual celebrities, you’d have to get their attention somehow. They have publicists whose job it is is to filter out the people who want to talk to them.
Fediverse developers may be a good start
I think Rossman is team reddit
Meh, there are enough places for the celebrities to interact with the peasants, why does it have to happen here too. Peasants together strong.
you shouldn’t be down voted. it really is the peasants that make these places great. i would suggest, however, that tech less-literate peasants are often kept away until something from normie-world draws them in and they realize it isn’t so hard to pick up. AMAs sometimes bring people in that might not have made the leap in otherwise.
