Welcome to /c/AmA

Want a scheduled AMA announced ahead of time? Contact Awoo directly at the bottom of this sidebar.

Please stick to one of either three post types:

A standard Ask Me Anything post.

A request post -- (What is the format and why should I make a request post?)

A gauging interest post -- (What is this?)

What is an AmA?

AmA’s or “Ask Me Anything” began on the old internet, originally AOL chatrooms, later followed by Slashdot. They are crowdsourced interviews where the interviewee first makes a post describing who they are and what they do. Commenters then leave questions and can vote on other questions according to which they would like to see answered.

The interviewee can then go through and reply to the questions they find interesting, and easily see those questions the internet is dying to have the answer too. Questions will be a mixture of radical, serious and lighthearted resulting in the kind of interview you won’t get elsewhere.

What Topics Are Allowed?

Anyone can do an Ask Me Anything. The topic of the AmA must meet the rules below, and in some cases you must provide proof of the claims you are making. Ask Me Anything topics fall into two categories:

Something that plays a central role in your life. The prime example of this is a person's job; posts about someone's occupation are almost always allowed. A person's topic should be something that they know thoroughly and is important to them; this gives them more to discuss and a more thorough background in the field.

A truly interesting and unique event. An example would be "I organised a protest against x." It's an activity that doesn't play a central role in someone's life but is so uncommon that many users would not have experiences of their own to relate to it.

AmAs should NOT be about:

Mutual-Aid and Crowd Funding - AmA submitters that include any aid or funding campaign must be eligible for an AmA without the campaign for it to be allowed. Additionally, the focus of the AmA must not be the campaign -- those posts would be more appropriate in the mutual-aid community. Posts about suicide.

Other Restrictions:

Giveaways are not permitted on AmA. Contests and giveaways already running on a third party site prior to the AmA are acceptable

Proof

Proof in the case of public figures or orgs may be a social media post on an official account. For other topics it may be a proof image. This does not always have to be included in the post at the time of posting and it may be discussed with the moderators and provided privately. We will ALWAYS respect your complete privacy.

yeah hasan's primary content is react / news analysis however he has been dipping his toes into it with h3h3 & leftovers and the XQC "debates" but I would say those are the highest sub count political streamers idk I'm open to being wrong on this lol

might have more been a commentary on keffals being a drop in the bucket compared to those 3. even at her peak before the anticommunist/debatelord shit really kicked off she was much smaller.

That makes sense, and I agree but her twitter "presence" it outsized compared to viewer/sub count but for me she is like the quintessential representation of the "left" adjacent political/debate streamer as she is just so craven.

Whatever their follower count, the 3 of them are the only streamers named who are taking part in an establishment dem stream stream tomorrow morning

@LiberalScratcher@hexbear.net was the one who posted it so maybe LiberalScratcher knows the source. Apparently it was taken by Brianna Wu

dang you're right. they did a pretty good job, by my standards at least. it looks a little off but no one thing made me go "definitely photoshopped" until I realized how uneven the grainyness was across the 3 of them and the background
