I think a useful guide in these sort of circumstances is to ask whether the subject of the joke is a member of a group that might in some way be considered to be vulnerable, marginalised or disenfranchised in some way?
The lower the level of “privilege” the more likely people (in this community and beyond) are to be offended. All else being equal, jokes about black people are less likely to be acceptable than jokes about white people, jokes about women less likely to be acceptable than jokes about men, jokes about poor people less likely to be acceptable than jokes about the wealthy, and jokes about gender non-binary people are less likely to be acceptable than jokes about gender-binary people.
Anyway my bidet time is up. Before you post check not only your own privilege, but that of the people you are joking about. Hope that helps.
