If you want a freezepeach instance there are lots of them, and I wish you luck.

Frankly, social media is a place where I want a bit of a "bubble", and by "bubble" I mean "blocking people and communities that annoy me".

Social media is what is replacing our town square, and the potential for someone to walk by and say "Nah, mate, that's fuckin stupid, and here's why" will be sorely missed in the environment that bubble-ists desire.
