I like that one, but a little misleading if it's an IAMA. Maybe Lemmy Answer Anything? Though, LAY has a better ring to it than LAA now that I think about it.

[-] Tommy_the_Gun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Lemmy Tell You?

[-] RatMaster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Or it could be Lemmy Asks You Anything. LAYA

[-] ScOULaris@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We're done here. That's the one.

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is perfect, but regardless I'd rather celebrities or whomever don't come to Lemmy.

[-] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

Clearly we call them LAMAs.

[-] popemichael@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Why complicate things?

AMA is already defined in our lexicon beyond Reddit

[-] nyternic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

LMAY - Let Me Ask You

LAY - Lemmy Ask You

[-] Blaze@iusearchlinux.fyi 7 points 1 year ago

Probably AMA, it's not like there's anything related to Reddit in the name

AMA : Ask Moi Anything!

[-] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's BS! We had AMAs on AOL!

[-] DM_ME_SQUIRRELS@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Is there any way to invalidate their trademark if there's proof that the term was used on AOL? Would be a fun way to fuck with them.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

This is the kind of stuff I would use my money for if I was filthy rich.

[-] lurkinggizmo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

How does that work in the US? Since e.g. in the EU you can trademark everything and anything you like no questions asked almost. But it doesn’t mean anything if someone will dispute it. It doesn’t give you any rights or guarantees.

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This isn't my area of expertise, but I believe you trademark something by simply using it with disclaimer language/the ™ symbol to warn others to stay away, that it's yours. The ® symbol is used if you've taken the step of officially registering it and it's been reviewed/approved by the government, like with AMA, so it's considered stronger.

And unlike patents/copyright, trademarks last forever as long as you keep using them.

[-] lurkinggizmo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t add anything else to the discussion, i know too little about it. But a US tm is not legal in the EU without separate registration. But i would not waste any energy on it. The value is in the community, not in the name.

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can't believe 3 letters that stand for ask me anything have been trademarked, we live in a sick world

[-] veroxii@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Since so many AMAs had lots of questions but frustratingly no real answers how about AAQ ... Answer all questions?

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like this. Works well on SEO too and can easily be identifiable with Lemmy.

[-] Vaggumon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Lemmy Know"

AQW - All Questions Welcomed ?

I asked ChatGPT for an alternative and Question Me Anything sounded the best.

  1. "Query Quorum"

  2. "Inquire Within"

  3. "Probing Points"

  4. "Question Queue"

  5. "Ask Lemmy"

  6. "Whatcha Wanna Know"

  7. "Curiosity Corner"

  8. "Lemmy Enlighten You"

  10. "Lemmy's Insight Exchange"

  11. "Ask & Answer"

  12. "Question Time"

  13. "Query Session"

  15. "Lemmy Q&A"

  16. "Question Queue"

  17. "Ask Session"

  18. "Question Round"

  19. "Query Corner"

  20. "Question Us"

  21. "Question Me Anything" (QMA)

  22. "Ask Us Anything" (AUA)

  23. "Interrogate Me About Anything" (IMAA)

  24. "Probe Me Anything" (PMA)

  25. "Inquire Anything" (IA)

  26. "Query Anything" (QA)

  27. "Ask Any Question" (AAQ)

  28. "Pose Me Anything" (PMA)

  29. "Question Any Matter" (QAM)

  30. "Grill Me on Anything" (GMA)

Actually I also kinda like inquiry hour

[-] animist@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Probe Me Anything

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Someone needs to make a sub called Lemmy's Insight Exchange and have it be about over-the-top ridiculously fake news articles from all over the world.

Bitch to moderate though.

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago

ChatGPT might get you in trouble with the BBC on 12, considering that's the name of one of their shows. :p

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

“Lemmy Enlighten You” is actually decent.
I tried pose me anything on a girl in college. Didn't work how I planned.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't see why the need to change "Ask Me Anything." It wasn't exactly a Reddit specific name or even a cutesy name, such as "AskReddit/Lemmy" is.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

QandA? QnA? Short for 'questions and answers'

It's an incredibly broad term and I'd be shocked if anybody trademarked it like Reddit did with AMA.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Way too similar to the qanon nuts.

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Probably this: /c/ama@lemmy.world

What they gonna do? Sue a decentralised network that noone owns by it's pure design?

[-] WolfhunterGer@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Most likely the owner of the instance hosting the community.
