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.
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 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.
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.
"Query Quorum"
"Inquire Within"
"Probing Points"
"Question Queue"
"Ask Lemmy"
"Whatcha Wanna Know"
"Curiosity Corner"
"Lemmy Enlighten You"
"Seek and Tell"
"Lemmy's Insight Exchange"
"Ask & Answer"
"Question Time"
"Query Session"
"Inquiry Hour"
"Lemmy Q&A"
"Question Queue"
"Ask Session"
"Question Round"
"Query Corner"
"Question Us"
"Question Me Anything" (QMA)
"Ask Us Anything" (AUA)
"Interrogate Me About Anything" (IMAA)
"Probe Me Anything" (PMA)
"Inquire Anything" (IA)
"Query Anything" (QA)
"Ask Any Question" (AAQ)
"Pose Me Anything" (PMA)
"Question Any Matter" (QAM)
"Grill Me on Anything" (GMA)
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.
ChatGPT might get you in trouble with the BBC on 12, considering that's the name of one of their shows. :p
I can't believe 3 letters that stand for ask me anything have been trademarked, we live in a sick world
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.
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.
