@BeAware I'm an admin of a few small instances myself but I think small instances have their issues too. The ratio isn't necessarily better and sometimes the mods have more blind spots just by virtue of being a smaller number of people.

One issue though is if normies want to try Fediverse and ask me, I'll tell them all the good and the bad. But Meta is just going to tell them the good about Threads and they have to find out the bad themselves.
