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.

        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?

        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

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

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

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

      • @JoshNautesEnglish

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

        • jerryEnglish

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

            Thanks for explaining the joke, it went totally over my head. Nice one.

      I think you’d do a great job!
