Much, much better support on Ask Metafilter. You have to pay a whole $5 for eternal access, but that's apparently enough to reduce the level of trolls by 9000%.

I keep hearing good things about Metafilter. Maybe it's the solution to my ever-growing problem of what to replace reddit with.

It's a wonderful community with a lot of different interests, and if you e-mail the admins to ask them a question they reply. Matt's built a good culture. I recommend it.

Meta filter has been around for years. Usually troll free, decent answers.

You lose something when you cross that wall.

Money?

Metafilter seems particularly relevant in light of Quora and App.net, and while the price tag has kept it obscure I've only heard good things about its community. So I'm curious what criticisms you have.

You lose access to answers from the sort of people who won't spend 5 bucks to get onto the site.

In some circumstances, that may be extremely relevant.

Or anyone who doesn't want the admins to have their True Name via paypal.
