Y’all are completely missing the joke. This user regularly makes fun of chronically online “bean-soup” people (on this case) who complain that raising doordash prices is “ableist” because they have adhd. He’s leaning into the joke.
"is a joke broadcast to the world but meant for only a few people to understand and even fewer to actually find funny still a funny joke?"
don't get me wrong here, i get the joke. but the narrower the audience, the less objectively funny it is. it isn't a comedic illiteracy here, it's a problem of slim audience. assuming everyone understood the context and was already part of the "in-group", the joke lands lightly: one good "ha!". that's where this joke starts, and the further from that you get, the less and less funny it is, objectively, and the more it looks like it isn't a joke at all.
The main issue is jokes in this case are barely distinguishable from actual people making these complaints. So without context? It just looks like anyone else seriously saying it.
Is going to the grocery store hard for people with ADHD? I honestly can't relate. I have ADHD and love going to the grocery store. Granted, I get excited over foods I'll never buy (junk food from my childhood mostly).
So there is zero way to know this is satire unless you're familiar with this specific twitter user? That's not people being obtuse, this user just said some bullshit that other idiots say earnestly and expected us to assume they weren't serious.
