Yeah it’s not like there are just dozens of disjointed powdered milk memes popping up on the fediverse at a given time, and they just happen to be concentrating in your feed because some blackbox marketing algorithm stole your personal data and decided you would be interested in powdered milk. The fediverse isn’t big enough for that to happen, plus it’s not a profit-driven proprietary platform, so it wouldn’t happen anyway.

No, it’s just an organic conversation unfolding between a bunch of fediverse users who find a sense of human companionship in being a part of the trend. Surprisingly wholesome.
