that’s true, and it is really glaring when you get to the smaller communities here, but i’m also somewhat grateful for the upside of a smaller site which is the lack of obvious psyops/wreckers. half of using mainstream social media as someone with cogent politics is blocking out the constant stream of nonsense on either mainstream subs that don’t focus on politics or random infiltrators in your political spaces and once you’re on a relatively quiet site you find that absence rather surprising
