            The irony comes from the fact that the statement criticizes social media while being made on a social media platform itself. It shows a contradiction between the message and the medium, which can be seen as a form of self-awareness or humor.

            This thread is like talking to my father who insists that “mainstream media” is evil, while he watches Fox News and misses the irony entirely.
