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?

I mean, being a death nail on a corporation's IPO for spite and content is on brand for him

Yeah, but why would he want to jump straight into the mess instead of watching from the sidelines and write jokes about it?

Can you imagine the questions that's going to be asked on Lemmy if he actually does do an AMA?

"Uh, what do you think about reddit closing its API access so there's no third party apps any more"
"How do you feel that reddit userbase is spamming with your pictures instead posting normal content?"
"Horse sized duck or duck sized horse?"
"Upboat to fuck spez am I right?"
"More sexy pictures pls."

See?
