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.
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.
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
I love the smaller ones. And I think that made early reddit AMA great. Also whoever that girl was that helped do the AMAs was great. Who remembers that era. She was a mini celebrity and then they fired her.
Lemmy could definitely make headway by going back to the basics and doing AMA with random people with cool or niche expertise
Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.

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.
Quick someone make it real
You won.
That felt real good
Nice

Ask someone something.
Ding ding, we have a winner.
AMAR - Ask Me About Rampart
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.

I thought about this the other day.
I couldn’t care about high profile AMA

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.
Yep. She was the canary in the coal mine.
It doesn’t have to start with A-listers.
