If Lemmy is going to come up with their own version of Reddit's AMA, what are you going to call it?

Lemmy Ask You

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.

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

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

And yet, Reddit trademarked the term.

That's BS! We had AMAs on AOL!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Why complicate things?

AMA is already defined in our lexicon beyond Reddit

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

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

  28. "Pose Me Anything" (PMA)

Actually I also kinda like inquiry hour

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.

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

LAQ? Lemmy Ask Questions

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

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

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.
