This is hilarious and the audience that would understand it is very small.

I think it's kind of making an argument about people who intentionally eschew mainstream social media, saying that they're basically nuts. So it's kind of about me but I find it surprising and original enough that it amused me a lot.

I actually have Voyager renamed to “alien rat king app” because I felt insulted by Lemmy being named after lemmings.
