Damn, missed my chance to have it be a date I’d remember for a change.
And now that we’re not on reddit, can we call it something other than “cake day”? Sounds like straight up neckbearded fedora shit
Can we just not care? Commenting about cake day is the most annoying shit in the world. No one cares
Back when I was a prolific Reddit karma whore (years ago) it was the best way to get free points for doing absolutely nothing. No purpose otherwise.
Finally, someone says it. Always hated those endless “happy cake day” replies. Sometimes it was 20 or 30 replies on a single comment of nothing but that cake day nonsense.

Hopefully with time we move away from the redditisms. A lot of overlap at the moment. Let’s be a new community. Not a mirror of them.
Cultures adapt and shift slowly, but I would love for us to embrace becoming something new instead of trying to recapture what once was.

Edit: shit. Shoulda read ahead and noticed others had already made that joke.
Having cake days together is better than having a cake day alone I think
My Reddit Cakeday used to be nothing special. It’s June 30th. There’s a certain irony behind all this somewhere.
Kinda gutted to have lost my June 4th cakeday due to fleeing from Beehaw. Getting in before July 1st still makes me cool though, right? Right?! 😭
We will probably give ourselves some grandiose name like “Founders” All the original lemmy people pre-june2023 gonna get called “early Adopters” like lemmy didn’t exist for like 3 or more years and they built it.
exactly
Someone used the term fledditors. That was me. I signed up on the Wednesday to beehaw after the boycott. I started lemmy.world the Sunday after. IDK. I like lemmy.world better, but beehaw is good too.
Mine is June 1st, the first day we heard about the API bullshit. But then Beehaw defederated LW so I had to open an account on LW to follow a couple of communities
