Being a very health conscious person I've always had issues with these types of events. Why do these types of events always have to focus on the most unhealthy possible choice for everything? I'm asking a real question, to me it simply makes sense not to indulge in frequent unhealthy behavior but no one else ever seems interested. Is there anyway to redirect these types of events that others have seen work?<p>You may say just don't consume the "thing" which I do but it has an unfortunate side effect. It actually tends to alienate you from the other people participating. The entire thing becomes about "why are you not eating". In the end I just avoid the awkward situation by not going/participating.<p>I love the idea but why does it have to rotate around slowly killing ourselves?
It would be nice if fediverse would develop Bluesky “starter packs” and have some sort of “starter pack” exploratory search index. That to me seems the bigger step in welcoming people to the platform. Though this doughnut day is a nice effort to make people feel more engaged.
I'm curious to see if this will work like the author intends. I feel like this idea works great in an office environment but won't translate well to a digital space. The biggest reason being that there is no 1-on-1 or group interaction, everything is broadcast out to the entire "office" and that influences people's behavior.<p>I like the intent though, and I agree it's something that could be beneficial if it works as hoped. Even if it doesn't this might give the author or someone else the idea of a different version that may work better
