what exactly does that mean?
is someone making snippy comments?

You’re an idiot.
The bit shows that you removed something irrelevant to your response, both to save space (remember slow dialups?) and to avoid having someone accuse you of taking things surreptitiously out of context.
As you lower your front end, if it feels like your back is too bent, you can slide your seat forward a little to keep the angle of your hip and torso more open. So if you visualize rotating your body clockwise around the bottom bracket keeping all the joint angles constant, this is what you’re trying to achieve. As you rotate forward, you’ll be sitting less on your sit bones and more on your tender bits on the nose of the saddle. Sitting like this will flatten your back and make your chest feel more open. Working on gluteal, hamstring and low back flexibility and doing consistent core exercises will help make riding lower more comfortable. be sure to check out each incremental change on the road as some things that feel ok on a trainer feel bad on the road.
