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.

John Oliver

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?

George Takei.

‬ Very active on Mastodon! @[email protected]

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.

the dude that couldn't take a shit for three days

Richard Stallman

Mastadon had enough friendly coverage that we'll see the occasional celebrity interact with the Fediverse through there. But Lemmy? I would expect celebrities to look to kbin first solely based on public perception of Lemmy and fear of getting associated with extremists.

Headlines, the general public, and most celebrities won't differentiate between Lemmy the software and individual Lemmy instances.

Based on who's on Mastadon though, George Takei. Fitting that a Star Trek alum is engaged in the Fediverse.

Linus Tech Tips guy, I think his name is Linus probably

I'd love to see u/spez do an AMA and begging everyone to return to reddit...

BTW Fuck u/spez

John Oliver. Just for the irony.

Hopefully its Keanu just to slap Reddit. But lets be honest it will probably be Gabe or some tech "celeb".

I think JT, from Second Thought and the Deprogram, made an AMA over on Hexbear, a fork of Lemmy. (https://www.hexbear.net/post/240228) I wonder what happened to the efforts to add federation to hexbear.

Lemmy ofc! .. oh wait...

me 😊

My guess would be some really down to earth author like John Scalzi or Neil Gaiman.

Jery Ryan. She's already on Mastodon. And active too.

Why would you want an AMA? This isn't Reddit. Still... Keanu Reeves, why not... the guy's adorable.

I did a AMA on here. And I. Clearly important

It'll be Woody Harrelson

John Mastodon

Me. I just need to become famous first.

Not Wil Wheaton

THQ Nordic already has a history of doing AMAs on alt platforms

@[email protected] was one of the first celebs to abandon Musk's Twitter for Mastodon. I'd love an AMA with him. He's a seriously interesting guy who's life's work and story are worth looking into... from a WWII Japanese internment camp, to piloting the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, to and LGBTQ+ activism.
