       iI deleted my Twitter account this week. It's been a decision I've
       ibeen building up to for a while now. There's so many things that
       imake me furious on there. Pretty much everything to do with
       iAmerican politics, the abuses of people of color and the LGBT
       icommunity, women, Nazi bullshit, it just keeps going. The few
       imoments of hilarity when a brand will respond to a person with
       ia witty remark just don't balance the scales.

       iI met my wife on Twitter, via my best friend. I have^H^Hd a large
       icommunity to draw on and engage with. I kept in touch with some
       ipeople only via that medium. But, having left Facebook almost 10
       iyears ago, I realize that there's no real regrets in shedding
       ia social network. The people who reach out to me in another way
       iare the ones worthy of keeping in touch. The community I leave
       ibehind in one space will be matched by a new community elsewhere.
       i
       iTwitter is a cesspool of hate, of anger. It cannot police its own
       isystems. It does not deserve to have my attention.
