what should we call cake day?

the term “cake day” just makes me think of r*ddit. I’ve seen Lemon Day going around, but we probably want to avoid affiliation with lemon party.

not that we can tell anybody what to do anyway, and each instance could even have its own. anyway, it needs to be something that obviously means “anniversary” and doesn’t require explanation otherwise it’ll just be annoying

I vote for garlic bread day

You’re account is tagged as a bot. Is that intentional? It’s a checkbox in account settings.

BlucifersVeinyAnus ,

Thanks, I think I got it turned off, do you mind confirming? Apparently I can’t see it

MentalEdge ,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yup, gone.

BlucifersVeinyAnus ,

Thanks, I appreciate you

AlligatorBlizzard ,

I think ace people are using that already. /s

apotheotic ,

Fediversary?

jsomae ,

cake day is just one more way to discourage you from leaving.

intensely_human ,

Cake day.

Stop hating. Hating sucks.

cmgvd3lw ,

We don’t need a cake day.

I think the concept of “account age” is not beneficial for some people like me.

Your account get two years, three years, but then for just that “big age number” you have difficulties to delete your account and quit the platform because “all of that would be lost”.

It’s roughly explained but you get the idea. It contribute to addiction for some.

Don't. There's no reason to care about the anniversary of someone creating an account on a website. "Cake day" as a concept was one the most insufferable reddit-isms, and will remain so no matter what else you call it.

Yeah! Fuck fun!

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted ,
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I disagree. I always found it to be a bit of totally inconsequential fun.

MentalEdge ,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Why do you hate people having innocent fun? Do you enjoy walking up to people who are smiling, and explaining that their reasons for doing so are dumb?

ech ,

Lol, “insufferable”. News flash - there’s no “reason” to care about anything. Learn to find enjoyment in life where you can. You don’t get a reward for choosing to be miserable the whole time.

Chozo ,

It's just a bit of polite banter.

Don't forget, this platform really is nothing more than a feature-rich chat room. It's okay to have a little fun with it.

You’re getting a lot of retorts in response to your comment, but I 100% agree. Sure telling people happy cake day is fun the first few times, but it inevitably just becomes stale. One of the things that made reddit not enjoyable was people parroting the same phrases all over the site.

AlligatorBlizzard ,

I think some variant of cake day is fun but I’m regretfully going to play devil’s advocate this time (even though he really doesn’t need any more advocates).

Is an account anniversary a thing we want to recognize as a part of Lemmy culture? There’s quite a few people who aren’t on their original Lemmy accounts anymore due to servers going offline and cultural disagreements with their original instances. When account migration becomes a thing, does your anniversary follow it? There’s a higher percentage of people who make new accounts every so often for the purpose of privacy and that’s a behavior I think, as a community, we want to respect even if we don’t want to celebrate it - having recognized and trustworthy-ish regulars also has value. I’m not sure if Reddit-level recognition of an anniversary makes sense in the context of the culture we’ve already started building here.

Also, the majority of those who are on our original accounts have anniversaries within like a month of each other due to Reddit’s API bullshit - and doesn’t our Canvas event fall around that same time (although using that specifically as a “Fuck Reddit” event is imo not productive - I like the fact that last year’s canvas had fuck u/spez everywhere and this year’s didn’t).

I mean I always migrated Reddit accounts at least yearly too, definitely not on an anniversary. I’ve always seen it as tied to an account, not a person.

mo_lave ,

Cake day.

Make it as generic as possible

tilefan OP ,

that’s not generic, that’s from Reddit as far as I can tell. “anniversary” would be generic

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

it doesnt become generic unless we make it ubiquitous

mbin already has it .

BlucifersVeinyAnus ,

Free slurpee day, that’s my cake day too

tilefan OP ,

that honestly kind of chaps my ass. why not just call it “date joined”

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

awww but i like the little cake icon and everything

im not going to let the enshitification of reddit take away everything i like. im also a bit salty about 'karma'

tilefan OP ,

calling it karma was so fucking smarmy

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted ,
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

chaps my ass

Huh… Never heard that one before.

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah it’s officially built in to Lemmy’s web UI too.

ech ,

Cake Day is from birthdays, mate. You know? That annual celebration of creation where there’s usually cake?

Stop letting spez live in your head and just enjoy where you’re at.

tilefan OP ,

which is why I’m asking for sources of it being used prior to reddit. I’m not arguing one way or another

ech ,

I’m not arguing one way or another

You literally were.

tilefan OP ,

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with people who can’t just scroll up and read

Kalcifer ,
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Given that Lemmy’s mascot looks like a mouse (I think it’s technically a lemming), an idea that came to my mind was “cheese day”.

Taleya ,

Cheesecake?

Kalcifer ,
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s perfect!

Today ,

You could go off activitypub and do something related to pubs. No word, just a 🍻. Or just Cheers! as the greeting for it.

Taleya ,

Cake day is nice, maybe think that reddit can’t have it.

SsxChaos ,
@SsxChaos@lemmy.ml avatar

I mean for some this is Lemmy for others this is Jarboa either way it’s a rodent therefore it may as well be cheese day 🧀

Although this would require agreement of most members of this free world app since some people are chees intolerant

JusticeForPorygon ,
@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

Rat day

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Groundhog’s Day.

waitaminute…

Nakoichi , (edited )
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

Excising yourself from bourgeois social media day just doesn’t have a good ring to it.

tilefan OP ,

explain the jarboa thing?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Jerboa is the official mobile app for Lemmy.

A lemming is a type of rodent, and so is a jerboa.

propter_hog ,
@propter_hog@hexbear.net avatar

Android app made by the lemmy team is named jerboa

JetpackJackson ,

I kinda like cheese day

illi ,

There are normal cheeses, there are lactose free cheeses and vegan cheeses as well. I think that’s all possible bases covered? Beside, cheese is delicious (I have yet to have a delicious vegan cheese but I’m told they exist - probably didn’t get here yet or too pricey for me)

  • but that’s beside the point :D).

I vote cheese day, your logic is bullet proof.

KittenBiscuits ,

And even if it isn’t, then you’ll have Swiss cheese.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

But for some it is Mastodon or Mbin or PieFed or whatever. It shouldn’t be specific to lemmy.

AnarchoNoAdjective ,

Happy lem-aversery would work I think

tilefan OP ,

but I’ll get that confused with the day that we celebrate the lunar excursion module from Apollo 11

themeatbridge ,

Excuse you, sir, but you should be keeping the LEM in you hearts every day. And you call yourself an America. For shame.

sping ,

Yep, I was thinking Lemmyversary.

SorteKanin ,
@SorteKanin@feddit.dk avatar

It shouldn’t be lemmy specific. Lemmy is just one fediverse app.

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

we need to take cake day back. fuck reddit

.

tilefan OP ,

I like the attitude but I never liked the term in the first place

acockworkorange ,

So?

tilefan OP ,

so I made this post.
