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.

As a mid term objective I see it. There's still a lot to do before we could have a big AMA.

Why? No reason we couldn't keep doing amas. What would prevent it from being productive right now?

We need to get at least v18 out. There are lots of performance improvements in there that will help with a large influx in load.

Layout is still being tweaked and you want the UI to be as easy to manage as possible for people doing the AMA (new reddit is likely a factor in more recent AMAs not being as good)

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation regarding amount of people. More people will bring in more AMAs because it is largely a publicity thing. A low userbase means people may not want to do an AMA, or choose to do an AMA on a larger platform. But having AMAs brings people in. It's hard to get the ball rolling.

Maybe we can ask Spez to do an AMA on Lemmy?
