I followed my friend @Mehrdad-Zaeri and left Instagram and Facebook, for they have become a forum for hate speech that wants to poison the world with pictures and ideas, sowing seeds of doubt,darkness,intolerance and distress.
 From now on my followers can find me here, and I hope many will join us.
