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?

    Not just the architecture, but also the possible logistics of such an event. Who’d contact John Oliver’s PR team, for example. What about the scheduling? Also, while I think people here are good-natured enough that it might not be necessary, who’d be making sure that the thread responses (the questions) don’t violate any community and instance rules?

    I may be overthinking it, but such a huge event would involve a lot of coordination from many different people.

      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.
