Has a Famous Person Done an AMA on Lemmy Yet? If Not, Who Do You Think Will Be the First?

I think u/spez should be the first to do an AMA right here on lemmy.

- "i single handed made lemmy grow 5000% AMA"

- After his really disappointing AMA on reddit, I really don't want him to do an AMA here.
  
  Didn't answer a single question. Just copy and pasted from an answer sheet for a few very, very easy questions, which were likely staged.

  The fake AMA was actually the last straw for me.

John Oliver. Just for the irony.

- Can someone for the love of God explain the John Oliver meme to me? I don't like his show so I'm out of the loop

  The fact that you have to mention you don’t like him (who the fuck cares) makes me think you aren’t really asking in good faith. His comedy/show often highlight bullshit and injustices in funny, ironic and meta ways and historically have encouraged disruptive protests that are ironic and silly but sort of make a good point. Such as, creating a real church to make fun/protest/highlight the fact that religions operate like corporations but don’t pay taxes. Subs could have picked anything silly to post, the point is to be rebellious and tongue in cheek while also making a point.

It'd be cool to see Technology Connections. He's pretty active on Mastodon, I've seen him pop up in a thread here via there.

Also Louis Rossmann. He does AMAs like every other day on YouTube, he might be open to checking out another platform.

- Yes! I'll ask the first question: What's your favorite r/pics post?

  I'd ask him how creeped out his wife is by this whole thing.

does anyone actually care about AMAs? I thought they were glorified advertising lol. Also that's a tough sell, what instance would you point them to, and how would you convince them they'd get good PR?

- The casual AMAs were a lot better. I'd rather hear from someone who does taxidermy than an actor who only wants to promote their next film

- They used to be good but they're just PR now

  They used to be organised by a talented individual, employed by reddit, who was great at drawing in more well known people, while still preparing and liaising with them so the event went smoothly. Then reddit fired them.
