Incoming meme rant

I consider the first layer of Irony to be the portrayal of the positions with exaggerated features and positions, an example would be the following meme I made in 15 min in krita:

A meme with the same format as the OP, there is a seething soyjack representing bluesky saying "Too difficult!! We will add a centralized blue check and claim to be decentralized" and the fediverse alternatives are shown as a big coach brain soyjack

This meme adds a second layer by portraying the superior opinion as the one that lies without caring, while it seems to be a meme that portrays the contrary opinion.

The commenter, being confused about the OP position could be part of the third irony layer.

In the way I define irony layers, the OP is making a second layer irony meme but for other people I talk to, the exaggerated nature of memes would make my first layer designation unnecessary.
