The commenter could’ve saved grace by adding a /s but I don’t know how well that is known with the Facebook crowd. For all I know they would probably think it is some cool haxx0r code doing magic things to their profile.
That only holds value if you are sure the audience knows you will be joking, just as Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world explained. Also one could be nit picking and say you don’t explain the joke but the fact that you are joking. :^)

They could also have added a “(just kidding)” if they don’t speak haxx0r. Anything really.
The second you explain a joke, it’s no longer a joke.
