Looks like a certain super talented Australian actress picked the right place to promote "Barbie".
Margot Elise Robbie, you're a genius.

I wonder if AMAs will ever come to Lemmy. Part of the attraction for AMAs on Reddit was the immediate interaction with a mass audience.
Lemmy, as it stands doesn't have that mass media presence.
Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.
Lemmy Ask You
That’s fucking perfect
Or from the reverse, Lemmy Answer You. Are we okay with the inevitable shortened version being LAY? Perhaps we should keep the "anything" on the end so it becomes LAYA. Much better SEO.
Public let me ask you anything PLAYA
Publicly Lemme Ask Your Earnest Radical Opinion Nobody Expected
I don’t get it, what’s wrong with LAY?.
It's already a word, which is bound to create confusion and be harder to search for.
LAYA is also a homophone for a certain space princess, but the spelling is unique.
Quick someone make it real
You won.
That felt real good
Nice
Ask someone something.
Ding ding, we have a winner.
AMAR - Ask Me About Rampart
"Q&A" has already been around for decades before reddit.

AMAs died when Reddit fired Victoria, they haven’t been worth a shit in a while.
Victoria leaving was tragic but can we talk about Rampart?

AMAs stopped being interesting a while ago. It was more like a quick press release session with celebrities trying to promote their latest stuff.
I kinda miss the IAmA part of it. People like us in usual or unusual circumstances sharing their daily lives. Like researchers in remote islands, members of ethnicities or cultures that rarely get media attention, cool or unconventional jobs and how they got there, etc. People and their stories.
Yep, that's why it was interesting. Celebs are mostly boring and already have access to platforms if they want to talk to people.
I want to hear from people who I'd normally never get to listen to and who want to share details of their interests.
Agreed, all it is now is a marketing stunt. Usually with responses built by some lawyer or publicist. But anyway, 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?
That's not just any publication, it's owned by Reddit's largest shareholder. They must be worried.
Reddit created a way to drive more people to its native apps (where Reddit shows ads and generates revenue) as of July 1. But we can't overlook that Reddit was built on people's willingness to provide free content and labor, and the API battle has driven away some of the most popular content and veteran volunteer mods.
Reddit won the battle for API fees, but the war for desirable content—something no social media platform can ever be complacent about—is at risk. And that's not the type of problem that ousted mods and forcibly reopened subreddits can fix.
Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.
This is too good.

I remember how James Corden got fucked over while holding his AMA. Good times.
The Fediverse needs to trick him over here too, so we can do it again. See it as the Fediverses official legitimization or coming-of-age ceremony on the internet.

I thought I would keep using old.reddit after they killed RiF but I’ve abandoned the platform all together. Finally got my lemmy account and I’m not going back. Google still shows me Reddit when I search for just about anything but I’m actively avoiding them.
