MODERATORS
Tldr: iama mods are no longer seeking out celebrities or doing any high value organizing like that. They will do only basic modding.
Sorry for the meta question, but what’s the difference between AMA and IAMA? Are these 2 different subs?
IAMA was the subreddit that hosted AMAs.
Both acronyms come from the titling format: “I am a XYZ, ask me anything”
Thank you!
AMA ask me anything IAMA I am a
The latter belongs to Apple's ecosystem.
Iirc two different subs with similar concepts, but I'm not going back to check.
Why are they still doing moderation for free on a horrible website that is reddit? They should just quit & laugh.
