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 11 points 2 years ago

Lemmy Tell You?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Or it could be Lemmy Asks You Anything. LAYA

[–] Crackhappy 6 points 2 years ago

That's a good one.

[–] ScOULaris 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Izzy 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Today 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's BS! We had AMAs on AOL!

[–] DM_ME_SQUIRRELS 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

AMA : Ask Moi Anything!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

No way! Then probably something like Ask Me Something?

[–] Vaggumon 12 points 2 years ago

"Lemmy Know"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Clearly we call them LAMAs.

[–] nyternic 9 points 2 years ago

LMAY - Let Me Ask You

LAY - Lemmy Ask You

[–] popemichael 9 points 2 years ago

Why complicate things?

AMA is already defined in our lexicon beyond Reddit

[–] J12 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

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"

  9. "Seek and Tell"

  10. "Lemmy's Insight Exchange"

  11. "Ask & Answer"

  12. "Question Time"

  13. "Query Session"

  14. "Inquiry Hour"

  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

Probe Me Anything

[–] Candelestine 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] veroxii 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] decadentrebel 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] 6mementomori 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] markr 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] fluke 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Most likely the owner of the instance hosting the community.

[–] Clbull 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 points 2 years ago

Way too similar to the qanon nuts.
