“Meta” is not a good category title. Better is somehting like “Forum”.
The name ‘Meta’ is pretty clear I think and often used for this category on developer-oriënted forums:
The Discourse instance used by the Discourse organization is even hosted under meta.discourse.org
The other often used name for this category is ‘site feedback’:
seems like a default of this specific forum software.
anyhow, why do i find this confusing: the forum is about RIOT. as such, i would expect that Meta includes discussions about RIOT, not the forum.

I think the category descriptions give a pretty clear picture.
Help category description:
This forum is for help and usage questions with the RIOT operating system and related technologies.
Meta category description:

description is good. i find the caption confusing (it’s named this way because it’s Discourse default …).
To keep the discussion in the original topic clean, I moved the thread that spun out of this discussion to the original discussion about the Meta category.
Since @janosbrodbeck replied on this matter within a reply on the original topic, here is that segment as a quote:
This is probably just a matter of being used to it, as @bergzand already pointed out, this caption has a long history within the forum space (I also remember it to be used in the old the phpBB forums of old). I think we should just conclude, that different community spaces use different terms, that new people coming might not know immediately.
Can someone please help me find the option in the settings, in account I would presume, that implements Article 17 of the GDPR’s “Right to erasure” or the “right to be forgotten.”?
We increased the number of minimum posts you need to have for that so there should now be a button that allows you to delete your data in your user settings.
