Simplified writing is good writing.
i don’t bother to simplify it even though i probably should since people hate it so much they try to take their anger out on me.
I don’t think you have any need to simplify, but some more punctuation would definitely help with the readability of your comment
It doesn’t matter what you’re writing, using plain language doesn’t mean you’re dumbing it down. It makes it easier to read and understand what you’re trying to say. You can take corporate jargon as the opposite of this. It can be vague, different people will have different definitions of certain words.

As my favorite philosopher, Natalie Wynn, said
I think it’s heartwarming gibberish but there is also, I think, a legitimate role in the discourse for heartwarming gibberish. Sometimes you have to explain what being trans is to a person who believes that dogs go to heaven and, in most circumstances, saying “I’m a female soul in a male body” gets the point across.
As a disabled, trans, vegan, anarchist my life and beliefs are far more complicated than I could express in a comment section. So I tend not to lead with any of those labels and instead focus on quippy one liners about personal liberty from goverment or religious institutions.
No random person wants to read my nuanced memoirs, but they will read and remember pithy snark. I’m an anarchist that sounds like a libertarian fool, but it’s the language that more people in mixed company relate to.
A kind of politics-flavored smalltalk. Yes, that is the local dialect.
Believe it or not, I have discussed subjects that matter deeply to me in online forums. But lately it’s just fruitless fishing.
I think we have a thousand mob-squawks posing as niche communities. Different flavors, same conversations.
Completely open and popular forums are not entirely a good thing.
only after the downvotes.
Never assume your audience are idiots unless proven otherwise.
Nah, I’m just this dumb.
