I read someone asking what mese actually means.

Mese actually means “msn messenger” in Finland and is used as a silly word (it sounds silly) in the ohjelmointiputka programming community. Additionally it is thought that the glasses of the emoticons 8) and 8D are “mese glasses”.

What about stress/accentuation? Is there anyone who pronounce it with the accent on the first syllable?

Since it is in the English language, that would be a right thing to do.
But since it isn't my native one, I make a stress on the second syllable. More convenient to me in terms of "energy saving".
However sometimes I pronounce it like two separate words: "m
e-c
e" ("e" like in "Am
erica", "c" like in "
celebrity")
