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?

[-] pinwurm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Imotali@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

lemmy.world is the largest english instance currently. I'd say it's much more a flagship instance.

The domain sounds better, too.

Also who the hell would want to be interviewed by a bunch of Lemmings?

lol idk why but that is hilarious

Anyone know how to get a hold of Victoria Taylor? She was the original AMA organizer of Reddit before they let her go.

[-] dipbeneaththelasers@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

She has a LinkedIn and last posted an article in May 2023. Her reddit profile u/chooter commented 53 days ago. Maybe one of those?

[-] nevernevermore@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] muzzle@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

She may be willing to do it pro bono once or twice just to stick it to Reddit one last time

[-] pilvlp@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Help us, u/chooter ...

[-] lwuy9v5@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can it self organize? How did it run in the early days of reddit?

[-] neblem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think you'd do a great job!

[-] jerrimu@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Me obviously, I’m bipolar so we have to schedule amas when I’m feeling manic.

[-] JoshNautes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If I understood your joke correctly, then you may be confusing "bipolar" with "multiple personality disorder". They are entirely separate things.

[-] jerrimu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You didn't understand it correctly then. I am bipolar, and mania or hypomania is one of the more noted features of the disease.
