#exit: excitement in Vienna - Armin Wolf and Co. flee from Musk!

In a dramatic social media exodus, prominent Austrian journalists of the platform X return the back! After Donald Trump's new election victory, many leftists, led by Armin Wolf, loudly said goodbye. Armin Wolf, the famous news speaker with 640,000 followers, is enough! In harmony with other powerful media voices such as Ingrid Brodnig and Florian Klenk, he says goodbye to X and moves with the hashtag #exit to new digital shores - the Bluesky platform. Why? To guilt is Tech-Titan Elon Musk!

What a exchange of blows! Musk, who is cried out as a destructive over-troll, is openly criticized by Wolf. Wolf complains on his blog about the flood of malignant comments that he and others experience on X. For many women, the platform is now completely intolerable, heated by Musk's relaxed handling of disinformation and agitation content. What was once a place for political discourse is now a propaganda stage for conspiracy theories, explains Wolf.

Not just rebel! The Viennese lines and the British Guardian also announce the farewell. The "Austro-Twitteria" seems to be reorganized. But do the fans follow? The answer is missing. While some break into the digital blue sky, others linger on proven terrain. The next few months could be crucial how many veteran users will turn their backs on.

16 years Armin Wolf shaped the platform, but now it is time to say goodbye, and the media echo is not long in coming. Magnus Michel, ironically in a Twitter post, outlines the challenge of venturing into a new world from the cozy environment. The digital move is in progress, who will join, is still unclear, just like the true scope of this mass exodus. It remains exciting whether Bluesky has become a new home for broken hearts of digital debate culture.
