He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?

    It would be great if Victoria from Reddit would do it. Even Reddit can’t do proper AMAs without her.

    It’s a pretty important task to verify that the AMAee is who they claim to be and to ensure that the technical things work.

    There’s no way that someone famous would bother making an account on Lemmy by themselves just for this unless they already understand what it is in the first place.

    It basically requires a host to conduct it like a regular interview.

      This is a very great point. Even if us lemmy/kbin people (with or without Victoria from Reddit) have taken care of all the logistical concerns on our end, there has to be some support for the guys on John Oliver’s end–even if only to guide them (probably the PA helping John) with the account creation process, giving a quick rundown of the UI elements needed to post replies, etc.

      I thought this is what generally happens with celebrity AMAs.
