Many people don’t want to get into the topic that much, they wan’t it accessable and easy to use.
That’s also the reason that many Big Tech firms can bring out products to get your data and sell it because those products are easy to use.
If we want people to join our alternatives then we should make them accessable and not judge them for their disinterest in the details.
That is exactly why I made this page. If you want more details you can follow the links and dive into things, but if you don’t then the options on this page are much better than doing nothing.
I’d prefer terms like ‘Switch from Reddit to Lemmy by joining https://lemmy.world/ or another instances which you might like, see join-lemmy.org for a list.’
Still, this leaves open the question of how you reached your idea of sensible defaults. Are these just the most popular in each category (e.g. most successful search engine, highest user-count Lemmy instance, etc.)?
I strongly disagree with putting Ubuntu front and center. I realize that Canonical is headquartered in the UK (although with many subsidiaries including ones in the US, Canada, and China), is one of the most corporate-controlled “community” distributions. Even if something is European, other points of criticism should not be forsaken.
Agree with this, but in a tldr there shouldn’t have a lot of disclaimers at the same time. Maybe just adding words like ‘for example’ or ‘such as’ or ‘a popular choice is’ can already say enough.

Full disclosure, I upvoted and agree with you.
