Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.
Lemmy Ask You
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.
That’s fucking perfect
You won.
Quick someone make it real
That felt real good
Nice
Ask someone something.
Ding ding, we have a winner.
Love it
(ㆁωㆁ)
Eh Reddit doesn’t own that term, let’s just take it
I agree. Reddit didn't trademark AMA so that means we can use it too.
But fortunately the relevant one seems to have expired.
Oh, okay I had no idea. Crazy how they bothered to trademark it but not do anything to support the mods of the AMA community, rather even actively harming them by firing the only person at Reddit that was helping them out, Victoria Taylor.
LAMA
AMAR - Ask Me About Rampart
"Q&A" has already been around for decades before reddit.
This triggers geometry memories with right triangles.
Angle Side Angle
I don't think Lemmy is big enough for more high profile people to come here. The main reason celebrities do AMAs are for publicity for whatever they're promoting. Lemmy has way less total users than /r/iama has.
It wasn't originally any celebrities or high profile people at all, it was literally like, "I'm a postal worker who's also an amputee, AMA" and it was great. Rampart ruined the format, IMO.
It doesn't have to start with A-listers.
I thought about this the other day.
Who gives a fuck about high profile.
Seriously. A few were cool. But most were pretty much just marketing teams with celebrities who couldn't care less about the 2011 hit crime drama Rampart starring Woody Harrelson
Her name was Victoria and she was responsible for making AMAs as big as they ever were. When she left is when they really went downhill.

They did trademark it: 1, 2, 3.
But fortunately the relevant one seems to have expired.

Yep. She was the canary in the coal mine.
