Should I still send him memes and stuff? Or does that too sound annoying and desperate on my part?

My best friend used to speak to me even when he was back in his hometown but now he doesn't. The first time this happened was a month ago. I asked him why and he said he never does talk to anyone when he's back home, that he wants to spend time with his family. But he never did that to meeee, only other people. I asked him what if it's urgent? He said he still wouldn't pick his phone if it was an emergency. I just stared at him speechless.
I'm not sure if he's trying to create some distance and slowly detach from me because it's true that I'm a handful, I've already had 3 outbursts in our 1 year of being friends. That too in public. I'm know it's a no-no for anyone. That or I'm just overthinking again and this is my borderline speaking to me, because it's fair that he should spend time with the fam. I will never understand what's real and what isn't.
If it's true that he wants to create distance, and not my head messing with me, then should I even care to send him memes like I usually do? Because I don't like silence in response to me remembering people in my happy moments. It's insulting and makes me feel pathetic. It feels a lot like social rejection.
But if it's untrue, I don't want to ruin things. I've lost friends in the past to borderline.

Since when are true friends like a water spicket where they turn friends away during some times and others not. The fact that he said that he would not even answer the phone under an emergency would spell it out for me. That's just plain rude. It speaks volumes about what kind of person he is or has become. In my eyes, that is no friend. It's difficult yes, but I would be giving him all the space he wants and if he doesn't ever reach out to me again then he was never a friend to begin with or he changed and would you really want a friend where you never knew if they'd change again? I've had this done to me. Once I got over the sadness of it I got angry. From now on somebody treats me even half like that I tell her to go fuck themselves. I don't have time for their bullshit. Good luck figuring your situation out. It's hurtful what he's doing and you don't deserve it. He needs to grow a pair and talk with you straight. A person that doesn't talk to you straight to your face with honesty, talks behind your back and is a coward. Imho.
