I'd be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he's said he won't post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.

dragnucs,

Him too is a good candidate for an AMA.

nieceandtows,

He’s a good candidate too, but to me, John Oliver has come to be associated with Reddit revolts in the media, because he was flooding the front page for a while. Even major news outlets wrote about it. If he does an ama here, it would symbolically show that those people have moved on to Lemmy.

randombit,

Why not both?

nevernevermore,

Let's start small. Can we do a Christian Selig AMA first? I think that would be a decent flagship that might draw the attention of the press. That way we have something proven before we start getting in people who have PR teams...

nieceandtows,

That's actually a good idea

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

One of the devs who is actually porting their app over, like !@ljdawson

Let's not distract @ljdawson from his mission.

@nieceandtows I honestly think this would be doable and maybe worth perusing. I wonder who has the most contacts with Hollywood to make something like this happen

He would likely do it too, let's call his agent.

A_Perfect_Noose,

This is an awesome idea. Any idea on how to get him on board though?

Go get him cowboy

Make it happen, cap'n!

I think it would be awesome, but - my understanding is that AMA events tend to require quite a bit of moderation. Do we have good enough moderation on either platform yet - to be able to cope with an event like this?

As a John Oliver fan, this would be amazing.

If he'd do it, would be fun too.

JCreazy,

I think you should probably ask him first

nieceandtows,

Actually we should talk here first before asking him, because if he agrees but nobody wants to participate that would be a very bad look.

@aphonefriend@lemmy.ml avatar

Absolutely. If he’d do it, it’s worth trying.

Pplsuck,

Yessssssss!!!

mattclassic,

Wow, that is a great idea. Actually, I wonder if we can find someone here who has some kind of connection

thebestaquaman,

There is already an AMA community the first step would be to help that community grow in order to get enough participants to make it a good experience for everyone.

champion,

I am all on board with the idea. If someone has connections to mods from r/IAmA please reach out to them for help and let's make it happen (here on lemmy / kbin)
