Wait so when this happens on normal sites is it an example of how effective non-federated sites are? This happened on Reddit, Digg, Something Awful...

Yes. Federated sites have a lot more going on under the hood, yet this bean craze was able to spread across all instances in the fediverse without lag or other hiccups. We were all in on the joke as if we were on a non-federated site.
