What makes you think the fake screenshot is Mastodon? I don’t use it so I don’t know about fonts and colors and margins matching up, but I’d at least expect there to be an instance name attached to the username.
Also, RMS is certainly not the kind of guy to use social media at all, libre and federated or not.
The page behind your link above actually solves the riddle in question:
I have a Mastodon account, @rms on mastodon.xyz, which mirrors the political notes of stallman.org. The person who set up the mirroring chose that site.
The profile picture and colour scheme fits. I’m guessing just the text is edited.

Welp, that’s embarrassing for me. Good catch!
