What really pisses me off are entire comment threads filled with “happy cake day!”. Like that adds anything to the conversation. There’s 1/365 chance that any comment is made on their anniversary. It’s not that rare when there’s hundreds of millions of people posting (or whatever smaller percentage actually post)

That and the one word reply…
“This”.
Upvoted!
I was really tempted to reply to your post with “this”
That!
This
Also…
This is the way
It was even worse when they added commenting it as a feature to the official app.
You’re kidding me. They did?
Yeah, you’d press a button next to a commenters name. That’s why you’d see so many with the exact same phrasing.
Awful.
I would always report everyone saying that as spam
I got a three-day ban from reddit for reporting spam.

gotta get that brainless engagement up! gotta feed the ad vampires! ugh, what a wreck…
One step away from just having a one click “post suggested comment” feature that I’m sure is inevitable
I am not going to miss when I make a post that I really need help with and for the only reply to be “happy cakeday”
You don’t even need millions!

Does Lemmy show them? If I look on your profile it literally says “Cake Day: (date)”
But I’m not sure if it would flag your account on that day.
Yes Lemmy also shows cake day on the comments. There will be a lot of those a year from now.
Lemmy in June 2024 : “happy cake day”
Happy cake day!!!
