fyi, I can't get used to the term me*space. I can hardly type it. It articulates a level of contempt for humanity that can only be borne of complete dissociation or deep hatred. I know that's not how it's meant, but I really, really encourage people to avoid using the term.
Strangely, I don't feel the same way when some wisdom traditions remind us that we are mortal (a bag of bones comes to mind), or in response to a number of other diminishing epithets. Weird.
I read it as sort of self-deprecating, a sort of acknowledgment that the speaker is so very online that they think of the physical world their body inhabits as something that explicitly needs to be called out.
I think it is quite funny and want to encourage people to use the term.
Meatspace, to me, is a term that encapsulates the authenticity of being a blood and bone human being and all of the foibles that come with it. Cyberspace, at least so far as social media is concerned, is a perpetual performance where what matters is how strangers feel about you and how they feel about you is often indepedant of what you actually do in meatspace.
To me cyberspace shines with a much stronger contempt for humanity than meatspace. Meatspace simply demands you be the lump of meat that you are while cyberspace demands that you please a judgemental and often quarrelsome mob.
