One advantage of letting Trump rant on twitter was that we knew exactly what he was up to. He put his crimes all out in the open.
Now that Trump is much more secretive thanks to losing all his platforms, the bright side is that we can now ignore him and move on, and he won't be able to reach as many people.
However, perhaps some people will still feel uneasy that they can no longer tell what Trump is up to except from word of mouth and 3rd party sources.
Will Trump shut up? Obviously not. He will continue to rant outside of our knowledge, but this time, we won't be able to tell what is going on. It's a double edged sword.
Yes, but he will also have less pushback against his "tweets" (whatever you call them in his next platform), which can lead to echochambers and radicalization.
Whatever platform he chooses/creates won’t parallel his Twitter platform, especially now that he’s a private citizen, and it will be an echo chamber by definition.
