In Buddhist teachings, desire leads to suffering. For example, the desire for wealth may lead one to do dangerous things, hurting themself, or to exploit others, causing them suffering. So the aim of Buddhism is to transcend desire by following the 'Eightfold Path' (right thought, right action, etc.). When desire has been controlled, one will 'want' nothing, and can escape 'samsara' (wordly pressures; often compared to a wheel since it involves cycles of action and reaction, cause and effect) to reach 'nirvana' (a state of calm, bliss, peace, etc.). The meme is pointing out that one who truly wants nothing will also not want social media recognition for it.
