Wait a minute, I’m not a historian from the 2100s.

That would be 22nd century. We are in 21st century now.

You didn't get the joke, but I'm glad you know what century it is.

OK the way you wrote it, made it look like you didn't know. If you had written 22nd century instead of 2100s, it might have been clearer.

But it's all a bit fuzzy, who are "abuses by wealthy platform owners just a century prior,"

What are those platforms in the early 1900s?

The joke is the past tense usage of 'was'.
