I think it isn't so much about
wanting to participate on Meta, rather it's about keeping up with minute changes that seem to dictate suddenly that such and such is no longer OK. Following all this can be a bit of a problem for those of us who have been long term members and contributors, and it sometimes feels like some decisions have been made my the vocal minority who has spare time to spend on Meta. Rep aside, participating on Meta feels much less interesting and rewarding than participating on the main site. Being driven into the politics of SO tend to make the overall experience worse. —
