galaxy brain take that just fluttered through my mind and might be worth ignoring and/or not ignoring: what if every time you coin a new word/phrase, you had to get a new domain name for the word/phrase and make a website succinctly introducing people to the concept. see, eg, https://www.microsolidarity.cc/, for a website that I already use as “obvious-things-documentation website that defines a word clearly and also is a good word according to me”
That’s a brute-force solution to a nuanced social problem.
Telling newcomers to go read a website every time they encounter a new bit of jargon isn’t any more welcoming than telling them “go read the sequences”.
