Twitter favourite Chris Deerin on why he has quit social media:

“Twitter has changed in the past year. It has become a harder and angrier place. The nastiness and aggression of the cybernats during the referendum campaign was one thing… In recent months, though, this tiresome trend has spread south as the Corbynites – effectively cybernats without the whisky tears – have risen. My Twitter feed became a conveyor belt of anti-semites, moral relativists, America-haters, and pop-eyed ideologues spewing tedious old guff. It wasn’t just dispiriting; it was boring. And I got fed up of blocking idiots.”
