Mate, it's making fun of Bluesky.

Every time on the Internet someone goes "X doesn't suck. It actually rules" and it turns out no one was saying X sucks I think X actually does suck.

It's trying too hard to convince people of a thing they never believed the opposite of.

On HN, I read someone say "Soldiers are not idiots. They're actually some of the smartest" in some context where no one alleged the opposite. Until that moment, I figured they were slightly higher than median (remove all the mentally disabled since nearly any employed group can't have many of those).

But after that comment I was like "he wouldn't be insisting on this if it weren't true. No one said they're stupid. The majority must be fucking retarded".
