can we just not call it cake day? anniversaries are obviously special but there are quite a few terms we could use, and we could obviously mint one of our own
Oh yes. Big deal. Yes yes. All of Lemmy userbase will show up at your house. Each giving you a different cake. Everyone will eat cake, and we'll all be very crammed into your house.
We notice you haven't been joining us for showing up at other Lemmy users houses with a cake......so maybe no Lemmy users will show up on your cake day. Maybe they're still upset you didn't get them a cake. Our entire economy now relies on cake sales, and cake baking accessories. Personally I enjoy strawberry shortcake, which IS a cake. It's right there in the name. But lots of people choose chocolate, or red velvet. Some people get fancy with it. They'll bring several layer wedding cakes, or cakes in the shape of a cartoon character.
One guy brings fondant topped cakes.......nobody likes him.
Completely unrelated, I baked a fondant topped cake as part of my senior project in high school years back, it was the first and last time I ever dealt with fondant, it's the most annoying thing to work with with a cake and it tastes so bad, it looks good but dang does it ruin any cake
I don't think it should be too much of a point of conversation in it's own right - there are too many users for that to make any sense - but it's a wonderful occasion to reflect on the platform, how we shape it, how it shapes us, and how it has developed since we got here.
And I love reading people's experiences with that.
If I remember correctly Reddit did something with a cake next to the user name or something. Kind of designed to derail the conversation. I'm not sure I want Lemmy interfaces to follow suit.
I think we should call it something other than cake day. That way we distance ourselves from the site that shall not be named. Like happy independence day or something idk
I had the same thought! During the immediate immigration from the other place it seemed like there was a reckless attempt to imitate which is unfortunate. What shall we call it?
