#plainlanguage — Public Fediverse posts

Do you know of any movement promoting minimal, utilitarian writing, stripping everything down to what the recipient actually needs?

Asking because I see many people writing a rough draft, asking an AI to polish it, bloat it, and the recipient uses another AI to summarize it. Two humans, zero actual communication.

There's #plainlanguage and #Crocker 's Rules, but nothing focused specifically on cutting the fluff from everyday writing.

Could #smolwrite (or another name) be a thing?
