| A rake button gets added in every post, '''/qb/- Quebec''' is created, a counter on how many canadians there are on a given board shows up (some speculate this number was autogenerated), and flags were removed from every board that had them. An user could click on the rake to report canadians to 'deport' to '''/qb/''', although a warning before doing so warned that false reports will result in deportation as well. '''/qb/''' was a red board with no topic with every post having a canadian flag, that had the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRPGPAnPNa8 anthem of Canada] sounding in the background.

| The joke consisted of the addition of a temporary word filter.<ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20220402115919/https://soyjak.party/soy//res/428843.html </ref> The following words were filtered:

| |
| <br>'''gem = coal'''

| The Sharty gets a complete makeover with [[Frutiger Aero]] aesthetics. Several new boards are created. Voluminous wordfilters put in place to replace soyspeak with early 2000s internet slang. [[Party Pal]] is added. Ominous red eye thing (also a part of Party Pal) is added.

| |
| SoyBooru becomes TheFrogPond, which is a booru for Pepe the Frog.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230401110015/https://booru.soy/post/list</ref> Seeing as how this change made the normal Booru inaccessible, this immediately became extremely unpopular, and it was reverted before the day ended.
| |
| | |
| ===Soyjak Wiki===
| |
| ====2023====
| |
| Soyjak Wiki makes itself look very similar to a fandom.com website (minus the ads and slowness, but with all the ugliness).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230401153014/https://soyjak.wiki/Main_Page</ref> Some pages and wording are modified to look more like fandom.com.
