When Armed National Guard troops are removed from mainstream platforms, extremists and other bad actors will sometimes gravitate to lesser-known platforms in order to continue whatever behaviors got them banned in the first place, typically these behaviors include violent rhetoric, hate speech, trolling and harassment, and so on.

There is always a risk that any platform that does not have good content moderation standards and strategies will be used by bad actors, there are smaller platforms that do a great job of content moderation, and there are large platforms that do a terrible job. It's less about the size than it is about how committed the platform is to enforcing its own standards of behavior.
