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.
That would be pretty clever, right?
I have seen you post before and had the same thought that it might actually be you, as in Margot Robbie. If I were to become famous, I’d still post things online.
If it is really you, maybe you can answer a few questions about movie production. Do you think the easy access to information now that everyone uses the internet influence how scenes are written? For example, scenes with a character getting hit in the head, knocked out, and being fine. I still see lots of unrealistic stuff like that.
It’s really about the suspension of disbelief, correct?
Realism should not get in the way of making a good movie, of course a crazy ex-psychiatrist in clown makeup killing people with baseball bats also would not exist in real life, but that’s acting. What’s more important is the rules of the fictional universe are internally consistent to prevent that loss of suspension of disbelief.
And so, like in the movies, in a place where you can be anyone, I am whoever you want me to be.
It’s really up to you.
Good point. I like to completely escape, be presented with interesting points of view, or be entertained, so I tend to enjoy sci-fi/fantasy, comedy or drama.
In this context, it doesn’t really matter to me if you are the person in the Barbie movie and or an awkward 14 year old that idolizes her/you, but it raises a good point. Before any kind of mass media, Cicero wrote about the power of eloquence and the importance of the wisdom to use it responsibly. That is more true today that 2000 years ago. Social Media gives the most persuasive people an earth sized megaphone. ANYBODY, with sufficient skill can post something that goes viral and have it reach millions over night and influence them including billionaires and politicians.
The aforementioned power gives platforms (and moderators) a lot of power because they control what people see. I’m really hoping for the Fediverse to succeed because I hope to distribute that power across borders and instances. There is still the age old problem of who should be in charge of the various communities. We have seen what can go wrong with Reddit where the community creator has it.
Now you get it. The time for cynicism is over. It’s time to be sincere again.
