This feels like the natural choice doesn't it?

Aight we need to open a ticket on github.

This is my favourite, it's a little cheesy and fun, but it doesn't have my biggest issue with the Reddit one which is for some reason acting like it's a birthday party.

It's official

It should be software independent. Not referring to a specific Fediverse app, but general across the Fediverse. I don't think this fits.

Aww I think it's kinda cute.

I found the whole 'cake day' thing on Reddit a bit immature myself, kind of like a stale remnant from the excitement and exuberance of the internet before it was dominated by a few massive companies.

By the time i left reddit my feelings towards those traditions were like yours. They seemed a bit hollow, over-egged.

Times have changed, Lemmy and its user-base are a reaction to the dominant internet campanies. With that i'd hope we can be more thoughtful about building an online experience thats healthy and sober.

To that point, i think marking an anniversary has a certain importance. I'd hope on Lemmy this kind of thing is approached with a more subtle maturity though.

But at the end of the day, what one person takes away from text, and what another person takes away from the same text can be surprisingly different. So maybe I just read all those cake day messages in the wrong light.

ACPO

I really hate using that term. It's very Reddit.

I've been using a mobile app for so long that I didn't notice that.

Soufflémmy

It doesn't, but I do think we should be happy folks are sticking around. I'm almost at one year!

We gotta make everything reddit. What does the narwhal bacon here? I vote opossum and curry. Is that le random enough?

Jeez man it's just some light hearted fun.

Oh no
