MODERATORS
 

Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what's been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)... or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?

Anyone who has a story and who understands they'd have a massive impact by giving an exclusive AMA on a Lemmy or Kbin instance.

This could be announced a few days in advance to make sure all remote instances follow the AMA community.

I’d prefer IamA’s, instead of AMA’s. Stuff like I am a Ukrainian freedom fighter, I am lawyer that represented a serial killer, I am terminally ill. I wanna know what the people are doing, not what the celebs are doing.

Personally I’m not very interesting, but I know some of yous are. Let’s all chat!

I didn't know there was a difference

I like this. It's be cool if a lot of the community came together to be interested in and ask questions about what a regular somebody does and thinks and feels in their normal day. A mom. A bank teller. A local radio producer. I'd get into that.

Hard agree, a well moderated interview can be interesting regardless of who the interview is. We all lead our own complex lives.

I miss those days of early AMA's before they turned into celebrity worship. There were some interesting and some really fucked up reads in there.

Sounds like quite the life experience you've had there!

Without a doubt I miss the more normal IAMA's also.

One of the most successful IAMA's of all time was the vacuum repair guy and he absolutely was fascinating.
