I'm fairly certain all AMA's take place in r/iama. The question 
remaining is what subreddits you want to spend time & effort promoting 
the team's appearance. But word will get around to r/linux, r/Kubuntu, 
etc., through the grapevine as well as official announcements.

AMA's always have their share of hecklers and trolls who will bombard 
you with obnoxious, off-topic questions. I think, as the person(s) "on 
stage", the best thing you can do is not engage with them. Hard 
questions, sure - be prepared. But reddit is also home to plenty of 
people who like being disruptive - ne prepared for that as well.

Well, one of the moderators of r/KDE is someone named "sho_kde", so I 
think there's a friendly moderator already on our side!
