Yes, we can all easily intuit that they fully intend this little Reddit advertisement to mean "never leaving one's residential abode for a few hours or so each week is super double-plus ungood."
That isn't, however, the ad-copy approved by these (supposed) neuroscientists working out of a top-tier school. An ad that they, if true, paid for with' deeply-leveraged tuition funds. Instead, this little ad, that we can downvote but not comment upon, suggests to everyone that leaving one's residence – at any point, for any amount of time, and for any reason – is the true abnormality.
Comma placement matters.

meh, I think the ‘not’ carries over to the next phrase in the sentence.
I detest the phrase rotting in bed too… I’ve seen it a couple of times the past couple of weeks from these mental health app ads. It’s just offensive.
It’s okay, you used enough commas for everyone!
Are they talking about MAGA men????
What?
As an editor, I feel a bit of schadenfreude when I see anyone sending out published/posted matter who decided not to pay for a copy editor.
