| Nov 25, 2019 at 20:12 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | I think the question this prompts is: Where can meta stack exchange discussion go? The community needs an off-site forum which could serve as a nexus for discussion of all the sorts that SE is trying to get rid of. It needs to be something that the community accepts as an unofficial but de-facto standard. | |

| Nov 25, 2019 at 19:27 | comment | added | Luuklag | I have the feeling this will actually be counterproductive in handling bug reports. If you just take a look at the sheer number of reports that were no-repro'd by the community, closed as dupes etc. Having a real bug tracking would require the company to handle these bugs by themselves. That would hardly be more productive. Perhaps any of the SEDE magicians can pull some stats on this? | |

| Nov 25, 2019 at 18:07 | comment | added | George Stocker | @markamery I think of it like this: if the people responsible for the strategy are ignoring meta now (and they are) what makes you think any of that will change with the advent of “The Loop”? | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 18:05 | comment | added | User that hates AI | @MarkAmery however on Meta.SE that is mostly with regards to network-wide policies. (Almost) everything else is decided on per-site metas. I understood the advisory board as the new way to make these. Also: I would approve your statement if this happened as a single occasion, however, given the recent circumstances, I am less optimistic. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 18:04 | comment | added | Pekka | I doubt anything decided on the Metas will carry any weight as an expression of community consensus anymore, though (which at the moment it sort of still does in those areas, if informally). I strongly suspect the hand-picked councils will set policy. IMO the only reason why they're not closing it down altogether is because they don't want to deal with hundreds of angry Meta-heads expressing their dismay on the main site. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 18:01 | comment | added | Mark Amery | "These changes seem to render Meta Stack Exchange useless." - doesn't seem so to me. The single most important purpose of Meta is community self-governance; that is, us debating and setting our own policies and coordinating the use of our various powers. That's acknowledged as a purpose by the blog post, and there's no proposal given to try and migrate that function elsewhere. The advisory team does not make that function redundant, both because it needs a place to get community feedback and because many self-governance discussions don't involve any diamond moderators at all. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 17:43 | comment | added | George Stocker | It sounds like the public nature of feedback is going away for private-solicitation only feedback. That’s an interesting solution, but for all intents and purposes, yes, meta is going away. Of course, I’m having to read between the lines because the writing is neither direct nor clear. | |
