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)

It was even worse when they added commenting it as a feature to the official app.

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.

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.
