me irl
Me irl is a subreddit where every post must be titled "me irl". The prompt is to post "selfies of the soul". It has 250k subscribers, and is responsible for several of the highest scoring links on reddit of all time, including #7. This is the burden I carry with me.

No idea it was a mefight.

Metafilter will always be my first internet home, but in many ways me irl is a result of a subconscious desire to create a place that resembles Metafilter the least.
