With this post I just described some people I've met on my journey through fediverse that were saying that they love fediverse meaning by it only Mastodon, as if it's the only platform out there. It's a small number of people, that don't affect anything. Of course after spending more time on fediverse they find out about other platforms(and that's good). The point of the meme is just to make a little fun of them, nothing offensive.
It's not funny.
The primary interpretation is that you're looking down on mastodon and it's users in general. Not merely poking fun at an ignorant few.
It's just more fedora-tipping condescension that keeps "normal" people from embracing things like Lemmy and Mastodon (or Kbin or Pixelfed or...). If we could all stop huffing the farts out of each others' FOSS-holes and be a little kinder to people dipping a toe into these alternate networks, maybe we'd have more than 5 comments on a post.
