      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.

          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.

          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.

    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?

      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.

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

    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.
