At home with your mates? What about streaming with your mates? Or in a public conference unrelated to your work with your mates? Or just anywhere where you could be recorded?
The kind of people that grossly misinterpreted (and I use these words because my English isn't good enough to use stronger words while remaining polite) Stallman's comment about Minksy won't care about the situation or context.
When at work it's very different from when I'm at home with my mates. Me and my coworkers have to share space, and so the dynamics are not the same. If one of my mates gets hurt by my jokes at his expense, he can just decide not meet me. At work, my coworkers don't really have a choice.
On a related note, the Mercedes F1 team just fired four employees, apparently for making a poll of when one of their coworkers would break his Ramadan fast. Maybe funny for a group of pals, but not fitting at the workplace.
