what should we call cake day? (lemm.ee)

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 think the concept of "account age" is not beneficial for some people like me.

Your account get two years, three years, but then for just that "big age number" you have difficulties to delete your account and quit the platform because "all of that would be lost".

It's roughly explained but you get the idea. It contribute to addiction for some.

I never celebrated my cake day on Reddit, and I was there for 15 years. I just don't give a shit.

Agreed, especially in Lemmy where accounts are bound to instances that you may not stick with. I'm a good example. I've been on Lemmy for over a year, but just abandoned my account on lemmy.world because I kind of hated it there lol.
