Can someone TL;DR the beans? I slept last night and woke up to Lemmy just being beans… wtf.
There was a post about a can of beans yesterday… literally just that. “Here’s a can of beans”… since then, the beans have taken over 😅
I think the point of this shower thought is a good one though: despite not being centralized, the beans still spread in a very reddit-like fashion…
This is great! This is the kind of wacky behavior that generates personality, community, media coverage, interest and curiosity, As ironic as it is, I think this is a milestone for the fediverse.
It’s also the beginnings of a collective conscious which means the fediverse is inching towards a critical mass of some sort.
I’m pretty sure Reddit back in its frontier days had several wacky trends take over.
Just my opinion but I’m loving it and I think it’s a good thing,
Also a demonstration of the true backbone of social media: shitposters.
Unironically. Just look how shitposting pretty much keeps Tumblr alive these days
I’m on these platforms for the shitposts.
The cool/relevant/newsworthy information is just a handy little side bonus.
Memes spreading like some kind of bean virus!
Beanary code travels exceptionally well via fiber networks.
