and here is someone’s word for most of those bean memes:
As I remember it (and I have a terrible memory), the fedi beans memes started pretty early on, like 2018, and came from a place of “we don’t get trending memes from other platforms so let’s start our own.” I think it came to lemmy from other fedi platforms pretty early on, and gets deployed periodically as a kind of palate cleanser. I blame the Brits, but I don’t have evidence to support that.
I thought it came from this post but maybe there was some background for choosing beans in that post. I also joined shortly before the bean post so maybe I’m missing some more info.
probably not

Yea, if that “lemmy will upvote anything” post was actually just referencing an existing bean meme from 2018, that’s news to me.
Ah, gotcha.
We gotta get y’all some seasoning asap.
