Readers struggle to make sense of jargon-heavy writing
People facing medical, political, management, or intellectual-sounding language want to understand what it actually means. The signals describe people translating difficult material for themselves or loved ones, and readers wanting a tool to expose the meaning beneath unclear or inflated wording. A general-purpose tool could help, but interpretations—especially of medical or political text—can be inaccurate or oversimplified.
For people trying to understand jargon-heavy writing. Mentioned from Dec 2023 to Jul 2025 on Bluesky.

I've had to learn how to translate a lot of this stuff for myself and loved ones, and I wish there was a proper job for it bc I would apply in a heartbeat....understanding this stuff matters
someone should build a de-thesaurify app that you can run faux intellectual bullshit through and it’ll turn it into plain language so you can see if it’s actually intelligent or just some Ferretface McMommysaysImsmart going off again
