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 mean, I’m not calling for a police state to shut down cake day or something. Just saying cake day was a shallow activity imo. People can choose to do whatever they want, but I would rather us think about what was actually valuable about reddit rather than just importing whatever preexisting culture there was.

      But you DO act as if people won’t just bring over whatever they personally liked. As if there’s some debate to be had, and a kind of consensus to be reached about not doing so with stuff people like you arbitrarily consider “valueless”.

      Even within your own framework of “value” can you really argue that something lots of people like, that doesn’t really cost anyone else anything, is somehow detrimental enough to oppose?

      And who the fuck cares if it’s shallow? Positive online interaction is positive online interaction. How the hell do you come to the conclusion that having less of THAT would be an improvement?
