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

Today ,

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

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.

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

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?

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!

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

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.

Why the lemon party hate >:(

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

AlligatorBlizzard ,

I think ace people are using that already. /s

expatriado ,

i think cake day predates reddit

tilefan OP ,

I was digging into that. can you find it? the top results claim that it was just from Reddit putting a picture of a birthday cake next to your join date

I like the idea that the event is about honoring pastry, rather than measuring time

The Artist Formerly Known As Cake Day or TAFKACD if you’re into the whole brevity thing.

Maybe to commemorate one of the first viral posts, about not pooping for three days, it could be Poop Day.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown ,

Bean day!

That’s March 14th, Albert Einstein’s birthday. But I don’t celebrate that, because I’m a Tauist.
