Great idea. I must say this is pretty exciting. I know you all have been working hard on this for awhile. This might be a bigger deal than any of us imagine.

We'll see!

We all know that Meta grew become a catch-all sub almost as soon as it started.
Now it's reverted back to it's ¿intended? use - to talk about Stacker News, people post for 100 sats?
This territory, for this reason, is really important. Can you talk us through your reasoning on this?
reply
The reasoning of which part?
reply
The 'higher fee to post in Meta' part.
reply
Because it isn't intended to be a catchall and no longer needs to be a catchall. Someone can create a ~misc or ~catchall territory if they want.
The fee isn't crazy right? It's just enough to make you consider if a post should go somewhere else instead. If you report a bug or have a solid feature request in ~meta, you'll usually recoup the post fee and more.

So, it's to try and keep it for it's intended purpose?
reply
Yes it's an experiment to see if it no longer attracts malinvestment.
