Cakeday plugin disabled on Meta

I’m just curious: are there specific reasons why the cakeday plugin has been deactivated here?

This is your fault :rofl:

and then DEV: Change cakeday and cakeday_birthday to off by default by CvX · Pull Request #36274 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

So, the solution for disabling the plugin on forums that didn’t use cakeday before is to disable cakeday on forums that have been using cakeday for years? Is there no way to leave the settings of forums that used it before untouched?

I think things just went south.

Here’s migration #1, which has been commented out :thinking: .
How can one know whether it has been ran on every instance?

So that migration persisted SiteSetting.cakeday_enabled into the database.

Here’s a clean up migration which deletes that setting if it was made around the time migration #1 was executed. Which looks a bit sketchy but hey, it works.

So now it falls back to default which is now… off ?
