I tried to live for 24 hours without using oil-based products. It was ridiculously impossible

This is like oil propaganda.

I remember a 'not just bikes' video on which he showed a video from the 80-90s that was literally this setup: a teenager suddenly has to live without oil products, and they pick specific large impact things to get the pre determined result: the teenager is happy for all the oil products.

Yes, we are using it for a lot of different things. A lot of industries just don't want to find some large scale replacement, because why would they without incentives. We do have alternatives for a lot of things, just not mass produced or optimized. The goal should not be to get rid of it completely (because that is incredibly hard, and might be overly complex), the goal is to get rid of things as much as possible and some products primarily, because burning petroleum is probably the most stupid way of usage.

Yay! More centralisation!

I don't see the issue with recommending a generic instance, if your intend is to convert the generic user. It certainly is a better experience than saying 'ok, so choose what you like from this list of instances' and they don't even know the implications or what that means.

The overcomplication of Lemmy is an issue, and this behavior tries to avoid that.
