I don’t know how I didn’t think of this be for, but the Lemmy bean posting could be a psyop that reddit is trying to get people to return to them after switching to Lemmy
I’m not really into beans and shitposting, but I don’t mind my feed flooded (yet) because it’s always good to see people being active and having fun.
I see a bunch of people talking about the beans, but I actually have yet to see a bean post. Where are people seeing all of these posts coming from?
I have a feeling that you may have invited it yourselves by joining a bunch of meme and shitposting communities. You shouldn’t really be surprised if you end up seeing a bunch of memes and shitposts.
The bean posts have died down after around 36 hours. I’ve seen a few today compared to them being everywhere 24 hours ago here lol
No.
Or we can bean attack them. Make an account. Go to a coordinated specified subreddit throw a bean meme/pic there. Delete account. Operation bean meme complete. That would be pretty funny.

Oh yeah, let’s increase their engagement, that will show them!
>make people like to stay on lemmy due to the maymays
>Somehow this makes them gb2 rebbit
>Profit??
Seems more like Lemmy users are building up a mythology. “I was there in the early days. Remember poop and beans?”
Lemmy needs a Streetlamp Le Moose story right about now to really help us settled in and feel at home. If you have not heard the legendary tale, it’s worth a read.
In what way would these bean memes make people go back to Reddit? “Go back to reddit. They don’t have beans?” There are beans there too.
Damn bean counters
I was gonna post that this place becoming Reddit in the worst way, bean posting being in my mind. Hadn’t considered this.
Still, an easy way to find out if this conspiracy is true is by checking who upvoted those posts.
The greedy little pig and his crownies may be dumb, but I think they would have better ways to get people to return to reddit if they wanted. Rotting a webpage using shitposts from an already rotten webpage with shitposts is not smart.
I hate the “rule” shit people are throwing in post titles more than the beans
Then block them.
I blocked all the ‘rule’ communities. 197s or whatever. Fastest way is do a search and just block all the active looking ones
Thanks! Wish there was an easier way to do it but that’ll do for now
I don’t hate the beans
Bean posting is the most reddit thing I have seen on lemmy in the month I’ve been watchingb
Imagine thinking shutposts are repulsive. They are literally only in one community, block it if you don’t like it. Jesus Christ!
I just blocked the sub. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
