Until all the kinks with federated content are ironed out, I’m content with a few big instances. Hopefully we get tools to migrate communities with comments to different instances in future, so that we can break down big communities into smaller ones.
Or any ceo, really. Their only goal is to make short term money.
Those are some good points
I said this in another comment, but this AMA should not be about reddit at all. In fact, we only bring up reddit to the effect of asking how he felt about his pictures. If we make this a regular AMA about his regular life, it would show lemmy to be a viable alternative to reddit. He doesn’t know anything about lemmy other than that it’s an alternative to reddit where people control the platform.
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
That’s actually a good idea
That’s a good point. I would think at least Lemmy.world would handle such a load.
Actually we should talk here first before asking him, because if he agrees but nobody wants to participate that would be a very bad look.
He’s a good candidate too, but to me, John Oliver has come to be associated with Reddit revolts in the media, because he was flooding the front page for a while. Even major news outlets wrote about it. If he does an ama here, it would symbolically show that those people have moved on to Lemmy.
I think it would be a definite boost to the fediverse, because a major talking point I see in reddit discussions is that there is no viable alternative to reddit, so people are going to stay no matter what. This event would put a big spotlight on lemmy, and if it goes well, will result in a lot of regular users from reddit.
‘Fine’ is a stretch. I don’t think I can sew myself good enough to prevent infection and gangrene.
