What might this be? wid.dm coming back online, someone having a laugh, or is it a job test?

I’m guessing that the letters, perhaps excluding the [how], can be arranged into a palindrome that gives the real message?

it’s coming back as a social network.

you crank the handle on the side of your computer, and someone else cranks the handle on the side of his or her computer, and you can send 15 characters of text from a wax tube inside your computer.

I don’t know but I would LOVE to find out what the answer is.
