That is indeed true. Only issue I can see is the copycat community might not outgrow the older community. And I think people tend to gravitate towards the larger community if there are multiples of them. Especially newer users who won’t know of the power tripping mods and will just assume it’s an ordinary community. But let’s hope new users joining the Fediverse have better critical thinking skills and start asking questions if they see a community with a strong and active copycat community.

Thankfully the Fediverse designates community size by active users per week/month/etc when you look them up. Piefed specifically does this. You can’t even see the overall subscribers in the community browser. So this levels the playing field somewhat.
