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.

    I get that, and it does totally make sense – the main issue I have is viewing this as a strict “replacement” for Reddit. I believe we should be more comfortable with moving and “replacing” Reddit with something more like an alternative than a direct copy; Reddit fell apart for a lot of reasons, but we can at least point at one thing to change; centralisation.

    I think we shouldn’t replace like for like, but move on and find new things; whether that’s Lemmy, or other alternatives. Some people prefer centralised forums, some people prefer more niche communities – for me, personally, I like more niche communities – but I think there’s a way for us all to be happy without sacrificing the fediverse ideals.
