SN release: ~meta sub, freebies improve, tip->zap, daily discuss permalink, more

This ~meta sub now exists. Please use it instead of anywhere else to discuss SN features, sing SN's praise, and complain. All future releases and stuff will go here.
Freebie posts/comments aren't limited to 2/5 anymore. So if you ever get to a zero balance, you can rebuild your balance. The same rules still apply to freebies otherwise, ie they have very limited visibility until other stackers zap them.
All mention of 'tips' were changed to 'zaps' as that seems to be the consensus term.
The daily discussion thread now has a permalink: https://stacker.news/daily
Add a SimpleX chat group ... link is available in the footer with telegram and sphinx chat.
Added a shortcut for tabs in markdown text areas: ctrl+alt+tab gives you a real tab now.
New user email copy got a makeover with links to the faq and stuff
When Stacker News Live is live streaming we display a banner on the front page for it

I think that's it. Happy stacking.

Good idea on this meta sub. Let me start by saying how I think "tech" was a good call for a sub. It seemed to instantly get lots of posts and activity.

Why meta name? Why not SN? My first thought was "What? A sub for the Meta company? Strange."

I agree the name might be confusing at first glance. But ~meta is what most of us were calling this sub literally a year before today because it's what it's called on most community sites.
