I thought the Meta sub arrived earlier than June. k00b described it as a place to request SN features, so I was actually using it properly by starting the meta takeover which was just a very large and roundabout feature request.

I was a little surprised to see it here, as well. My recollection is that we were already clamoring for territories ("subs" at the time), prior to ~meta being created. It'll be interesting to revisit how that all played out.

For some reason I thought meta came before tech or at the same time as tech but evidently not.

I thought they were concurrent, too.

Thanks! Reading this helped me understand the context behind @ek’s Zap to Zero initiative. And he must have succeeded recently because I saw freebie attached to his nym. 😱

And ek, when you read this, hope you have had a great mental reset

I remember Zap to Zero, but why did this make you think of it?

From the top post in 2023

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.
