Always. But maybe a factor is the size of the "community"? A hub city has X number of residents plus Y folks who work there plus Z folks who live in suburbs but are counted as part of the metropolis.
OTOH a small city is small, so the folks may share more in common -- and thus push out interlopers and ignore noise makers.
- JohnFen 3y agoI live in a small city. I think the reason that social media hasn't really become central for community here is because we have a small free arts & entertainment newspaper that has served the role for longer than I've been alive. That's where everyone expects to find public announcements, events, buying/selling things, etc. Craigslist is also very popular here. Does that count as social media?
