Honestly, I think what’s going on here is “new platform good, nonadopters bad” and people wanting to believe that this Twitter user is actually confused by us, not making a joke, because we’re special smart kids for adopting the Fediverse and anyone who does not is a dummy-dumb-dumb-doodoo head. Of course, not in such crass words, or so obviously laid out, otherwise we’d all catch that kind of thinking for what it is immediately. This team good, that team bad. Fun in sporting matches, not so great when we actively want people to come here and ditch Twitter, and when we get condescending towards other human beings.
That is my honest personal interpretation but I could be wrong :P I’m also affected by my own biases and maybe I am seeing this pattern where it doesn’t actually exist.
Truth be told, I don’t want these people to join either :p but I also don’t want the Fediverse to scare people away based on ignorance, not everyone will take these kinds of Tweets as jokes, I certainly had a hard time believing they were all joking.
