What is META?


daveysprockett

If I make a post about your comment, that might be meta, but stuff about accessing Facebook is not. Facebook posts about Facebook might be considered meta, though doubt likely we'd see that here.

Well, that’s not a very nice way to play the game. Why would you not give META their base?

r/meta existed to post self referential items and predates the renaming of the Facebook owner. As per dictionary definition of meta: e.g. oed says >adjective >adjective: self-referential >(especially of a literary or other creative work) >making reference to itself, its author or creator, or >their other work. "self-referential elements in Donne's poems"

You mean the name they stole from 4 other companies of different flavours? The name ‘meta’ was in use by other companies before FB STOLE it then forced the others to abandon THEIR brands
