  Ok, someone please help me. The definition of meta changed, and I no longer understand it.

  It used to be an adjective, now it’s a noun?

    It’s a shortening of metagame

    It’s from video games. People started using it because you might have an optimal strategy but then people started using strategies to counter the optimal strategy. A meta strategy. It makes sense when you have PvP but it’s also used to indicate general strategy now. Meta might change if the game changes or if someone figures out a more optimal strategy. So it means “the currently perceived optimal strategy, taking into account other strategies”.

      Oh. So they just noun-ified the adjective. Neat. I like it.

      I’m pretty sure that form of meta doesn’t actually have anything to do with the prefix/adjective. In games it’s just an acronym for “most effective tactic available” i.e. in your example the first strategy would be called “the meta” until the second one came along.

    I’ll try my best but it’ll probably be wrongish.

    It usually relates to a notable thing happening in a closed community or specific subject.

    There was PM spam from “the fediverse chick” a while ago, and that became the Lemmy meta for a bit.
