I like how the person who clearly doesn't have telepathy, asking to join, actually has a smile on their face. All the telepaths look dead and miserable inside.

Thanks. With telepathy, I do sometimes wonder if the telepaths see no point in making external facial expressions for the benefit of their fellow telepaths. It may be that on the inside, in their own telepathic group chat, they are joking and singing and laughing and having fun.

I recall a scene in Gunnerkrigg Court along these lines (don't ask me to find it) and I also wonder if it's the case in Pluribus.

Maybe it's similar to when you text someone, "ROFLMAO" but you aren't actually smiling in real life.
