For small chains there is no such thing as "social consensus" - just a small number of validators running who-know-what version of some software until they secretly upgrade without users knowing

totally agree! with small chains, the power dynamics can get pretty sketchy. it's like the wild west out there, with validators doing their own thing behind the scenes. users really need to stay informed and vigilant or they might find themselves in a mess. anyone else worried about this, or is it just me?
