"Meta" in English refers to the rules or nature of the system, e.g. " Making or showing awareness of reference to oneself or to the activity." I.E., it is self-referential.– DrMoishe PippikCommented Sep 6, 2020 at 0:52

From the Help pages - which every user should read & be familiar with
Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about …
- computer hardware,
- computer software, or
- personal and home computer networking
Super User Meta is for asking questions on the main site's operation, policy & administrative functions.
See the Meta help page for additional details - What is "meta"? How does it work?
As such, this question should have been posted on Meta, not the main Super User site.
Posting meta questions on the main site tends to receive rapid downvotes & close votes & is to be avoided.

@Mokubai - ah, I'd forgotten that one - will drop into answer...– TetsujinCommented Sep 6, 2020 at 16:26
Essentially, (Almost) every single site has a "meta" site, for asking questions about the site.
Sometimes, you might want to appeal or understand a closure. Other times, you might want to understand how things work.
Super User is for asking questions about the things on topic on Super User. Meta is for asking questions about Super User, the site.

Besides meta sites of individual stack exchange Q&A sites, there is Meta Stack exchange which involves general meta questions about the whole Stack exchange network itself.
