Who do you think would be a good candidate to do an AMA on Lemmy? (reddthat.com)

We had a few AMA in the past, the most recent one being by a director/actor on !movies@lemm.ee : https://lemm.ee/post/31335226?scrollToComments=true

Those seems like a good opportunity to promote the platform.

Who do you think would be a good candidate that we could reach out to?

Cory Doctorow comes to mind, as he's well known on Lemmy for his theorization of enshittification

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

Got to be the top pick.

Margot Robbie!!! How is this not first choice? @MargotRobbie

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

On the fediverse, you need to add the instance as well: @MargotRobbie@lemm.ee

George Takei would be good.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

He's on Mastodon! @georgetakei@universeodon.com

Off-topic, but when I searched for him, my phone autocorrected "Takei" to "Naked". Oh my...

The guy who does technology connections

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Ryan Reynolds, but that's probably not feasible I guess.

Given Lemmy's particular popular topics, I guess a good candidate would be either a tech/privacy guy, a scientist, or someone from Star Trek.

For Pride month, maybe Chris Hughes might be interesting though he personally isnt that well-known. Or Anthony Rapp?

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Neil Gaiman is still trying to make Bluesky work, so maybe he'd be game for helping prop up an underdog.

Linus Torvalds

Edit: alternatively, Bram Cohen

If it's for Hexbear or ML instances then I guess fuckin Putin, or Xi.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 5 months ago

Colm Meaney, or as most of you would know him as Chief Of Operations Miles O'Brien

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Woody Harrelson, but it better be about Rampart.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

I just want to hear him talking about Natural Born Killers

[–] databender@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Doyle Brunson

[–] Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you..

[–] databender@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Damn, I didn't realize he had passed.
