app.askeverything.ama.question

A signed question directed at a specific account (ask-me-anything style). Not pooled. This is public speech by the asker, equivalent in visibility and accountability to a mention: it is publicly readable from the moment it is created, whether or not the recipient ever answers. There are no anonymous directed questions. The recipient is never obligated to answer; nothing appears in the recipient's repo unless they choose to respond, and AppViews should only route asks to recipients who have asks enabled and have not blocked the asker.

text

requiredstring

The question text. If answered, the recipient's answer embeds a snapshot of this text; attribution of the asker is resolved live from the answer's reference, so deleting this record degrades attribution to '[deleted]' without hollowing out the answer.

  • app.askeverything.feed.answer

    record

    A person's answer to a question. The record is self-contained: it embeds a snapshot of the question text as it was when answered, so the answer remains intelligible even if the referenced question record is later deleted or unavailable. The question reference is validated by shape (a strongRef), not by target record type, so answers may respond to pool questions, directed asks, or compatible prompt records from other applications.

  • dog.tellme.ask

    record

    A question submitted to a tellme.dog ask box. Lives in the ASKER's repo (user-owned, portable). Repo records are public: anonymous asks are therefore never written as records — they exist only server-side, with no asker identity stored.

  • app.askeverything.pool.submission

    record

    An authorship receipt: this account contributed this question text to the communal pool. Lives in the submitter's own repo as their portable proof of contribution. Creating this record grants the pool an irrevocable license to the question text (including its embedding as a snapshot inside answer records). Deleting this record revokes attribution: the steward anonymizes the corresponding pool question, but the text remains in the pool so that other people's answers keep making sense.

  • at.askimut.question

    record

  • net.wafrn.feed.ask

    record

    Record declaring an 'ask' of a question to a subject user.
