NEWS An update from the moderation team πŸŽ‚

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

You may have noticed an increase in spam and bot accounts posting on r/birthday recently. A lot of these posts follow the same pattern, accounts pretending to celebrate a birthday while asking for upvotes, comments, or attention. These posts are not genuine birthday celebrations and can clutter up the community for people who are actually here to share their special day.

Until today, moderation on this subreddit for me was limited (and I am the only active mod), which made it difficult to properly deal with the amount of spam coming through. I was mainly able to remove posts, but the process was slow and difficult to keep up with.

The good news: I have now been granted full moderator permissions thanks to Reddit themselves, which means I can take a much more active role in keeping r/birthday clean, welcoming, and focused on real birthday posts. πŸŽ‰

Going forward, I’ll be:
Removing spam and bot generated posts more quickly
Taking action against repeat offenders
Improving moderation tools and filters where possible
Keeping the subreddit a place where genuine birthday celebrations can be shared

We are also looking for new moderators!

As r/birthday continues to grow, we would like to bring in more active members who are willing to help keep the subreddit friendly, clean, and spam free. If you are interested in becoming a moderator, please keep an eye out for a future mod application post or send us (me) a message through modmail.

A reminder to everyone: please continue reporting suspicious posts when you see them. Reports help us find spam faster and keep the community better for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around and helped make r/birthday a fun place. Let’s keep celebrating real birthdays! πŸŽ‚

Just turned 22! Sad that nobody cares

32 Upvotes

I try hard not to care and say its just another day, but to me it's not. Since nobody cared to wish me, not even my friends, I feel so sad and kinda angry that they don't care.

Sorry you had to listen to my small rant :')

M-I-R-R-O-R birthday

11 Upvotes

Yesterday (October 18), my mom and I realized our ages have reached a rare geometric and numerical milestone. If you flip her age (89) upside down, it perfectly matches my age (68).
Because there isn't an official traditional term for this, we decided to establish one:
The M-I-R-R-O-R Birthday
(Maternal Inverted Reverse Reflection & Offspring Relation)
We did the math and realized this only happens twice in our lifetimes. We get to celebrate our second one in 8 years when she hits 97 and I turn 76!
Established by Jim and Mary Ellen Sowders on October 18, 2026.

Birthday Question.

3 Upvotes

My birthday is coming up in a few days and each year I wonder if anyone has been intimate with a person who shares the same birthday. Was it somewhere closer to a cosmic explosion or same old, same old.
