MetaTalk

The words we write on the internet have an effect, most especially, irresponsible ones like those in "Some nerdy Redditors have doubts about 2024 election integrity." [more inside]

With several fires raging and more possible, let’s share information and provide a place for those affected to check in. I hope everyone’s safe!

The board is forming a moderation oversight committee and you are welcome to volunteer to be on it! Some people have already! But this is the formal ask for anyone who is interested and has not contacted me yet. More details, such as they are, inside. [more inside]

FanFare does not get a ton of traffic, any thoughts on how to change that? [more inside]

This post does not seem beloved by its countrymen.

What do people think about starting a tradition of an annual "State of MetaFilter" email to all members for each new year? A lot of changes happened in 2024 (for example: non-profit status, site code rewrite started), not everyone follows MetaTalk, and it would be a way to remind members who haven't participated in a while that MetaFilter is still here to encourage them to participate again.

With a regular season record of 11-4, Night_Owl's "Won't You Be My Naybors" defeated "Stroud Proud" (12-3) for the championship.

As promised, I donated $100 to MetaFilter in honor of Night_Owl's victory (receipts upon request), and offer this post as proof of her cunning and skill. She may brag on all of us who participated, and, frankly, all of you who didn't participate, whom she clearly also beat.

Mefi Card Club was started as an ongoing card swap in March of 2018, and still continues to this day (approaching 7 years, whew!). It's been a bit since we've had a Metatalk post about this and we could use some more participants to keep this sustainable, so I figured it was time. If you want to continue the fun of sending and receiving cards and not limit it to just the holiday season, come join us! [more inside]

Welcome to the first ever (as far as I know!) Fanfare extravaganza. I have created a place where we can share recommended books, movies, tv, music, games, podcasts we have read, watched, listened to, or played this year. [more inside]
