For example:
CMV: I have a post on c/changemyview
Is there any issue with like copyright infringement or any other quirk to my understanding?

The term AMA is technically copyrighted. Nobody here really cares much though, except maybe the admins that have their hardware in countries where they’re vulnerable to being sued for hosting copyright infringing stuff.
They get to care for us.
“Ask me anything” as a specific logo typeface is trademarked; but the term is too generic to be copyrighted.
So can we safely do it or put CMV: For ChangeMyView entries?
Yep. No problems as of yet.
You technically could, though there are burrows (the Lemmy term for communities) that are better for it, since this one is more for questions.
Remember that if a burrow doesn’t exist that’s to your liking, you could always make one (and I might join).
Ive been on Lemmy for awhile and you are the first person I’ve seen refer to a Lemmy community as a burrow - where did you get the term from?
I tried to search engine it but they still don’t seem to like indexing lemmy.
People on Lemmy are referred to as Lemmings, named after the animal, which makes its homes in burrows. One day someone asked what the equivalent here for “subreddit” was and burrows were mentioned and everyone was like “yeah let’s do that”… I still have the reply chain link that shows all that, though the post itself is removed, so on my end that exchange doesn’t show up anymore.
c/changemyview IS the Lemmy burrow

Edit: u can join me in my private
burrowanytime ;)Oh… misinterpreted that as just a part of the example, my bad.
Feel free to join me in my private
burrowanytime ;)I’d love to. Which one is it?
I was being saucy, I don’t run any private instances aha. Feel free to bookmark me however you like or DMs tho ;)
Edit: what does your username mean?
It’s a convoluted anime reference. Shinigami are the Japanese equivalent to reapers and commonly feature in Shintoism which finds its way into anime. “Ookami” and “Ryuu” are anime characters associated with shinigami. I forgot the whole story of my username, but I know I was attempting to copy over from DeviantArt which is a site I use too.
What, really? I actually didn’t know this. By who though?
Follow up question: What if my initials are AMA?
Thats an interesting twist 😹
By Redit…?
I mean I know it’s associated with Reddit, but I didn’t know it was trademarked by them.
Who else could that be relevant for, thats where it was implemented first, isn’t it?
Yes, but what I mean is I didn’t expect Reddit to go full Hollywood on the term. It would be like Lemmy gatekeeping the term Lemming. So I then wondered if maybe someone else seized that opportunity.
Do we have everything like reserved or copyrighted in a way that some asshole can’t take it away forever?
Edit: you’re giving Redit way too much cRedit if you don’t think they wouldn’t swoop in 5sec after reading this post
If nobody has swooped in yet, they probably won’t. At the moment, “AMA” seems like it has kleenex status.
Thats not the point, I want to make aure I don’t spend time on something Redit can use against us or influence. I don’t like when things CAN be taken away from me. Thats why everybody relies on contracts to maximize certainty in the future

Can someone page a Lemmy.world admin to clarify?
