If that is too long, you have an attention span problem. That is your issue to deal with, not ours.

Or from another angle, how would you say it more concisely? Preferably without using AI to summarise.

If anything it seems like you are the one with an attention span problem when you can't remember that he posted the correct consise definition earlier in this thread. Being a dick when justified is counter-productive, but being a dick while also being the one who is confused is a way worse look.

As a question, not a statement of knowledge, when if they'd read that “too long” paragraph they could have stated the point confidently.

And while that description, if stated as such, is more concise, it leaves out notable details (its relationshipt to Gitea, which many may recognise, and that it isn't the full feature set of the service) so is probably too concise.
