Everyone is free to leave this platform. It shortens their reach, primarily harms themselves, and helps the extremes from the right and left. A lot of impact, but different from what was thought. Like someone who throws away the TV because they don't like the host. (Original: Jeder ist frei, diese Plattform zu verlassen. Das verkΓΌrzt seine Reichweite, schadet in erster Linie ihm selbst & hilft den Extremen von rechts & links. Eine Menge Wirkung, aber anders als gedacht. Wie jemand, der den Fernseher wegwirft, weil ihm der Moderator nicht gefΓ€llt.) #FreedomOfChoice #SocialMediaImpact #EchoChamber #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthearticle.
