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?

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.

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

Let's do it.

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

John Oliver hosts a political talkshow. that's fine if you're showing off a specific Lemmy instance or community, but if your goal is to show off Lemmy as a platform, doing so with that topic is a recipe for disaster.

Especially since Lemmy's roots are also political, and controversially so

We don't even have to bring up reddit other than asking how he felt about his pictures. We can just do a regular ama about himself. The point is not getting him to talk bad about reddit, but to show the world that lemmy is a viable alternative to reddit

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yessssssss!!!

@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

@nieceandtows That would be beyond awesome.
