I'd rather say that I don't think Reddit gets any ownership of concepts that community members thought up and popularized. Most of us are still those same community members, I have no interest in granting Reddit ownership of our culture.

@socialjusticewizard Sure, i see your point! My fear is that if someone outside of the fediverse sees a headline "X to host AMA on Kbin" that might still lead them to Reddit, because they've never heard of Kbin...
It is a reasonable thing to consider, but changing things will always cause confusion to newcomers. Making things as simple as possible, even if it takes some reddit naming schemes will always lead to better results. If people do not understand, they tend to give up.
It is also comfortable to have similar names so if you are used to a system, adapting is much easier. It is kind of like going from windows 7 to 8. It went extremely poorly because it was just too different too quickly.
I've seen AMA threads on 4chan, I don't think it's something reddit-exclusive anymore. It's just a simple acronym for "Ask Me Anything" for online interviews.
