Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement? (lemmy.world)

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.
