In theory maybe, but have we actually seen a community migrate away from a sub or the admins step in because of power tripping?

The 196 mitosis was due to mods literally closing the sub, what caused the trek split?

Actually, due to some mod shenanigans, they tried to close the community to move it to a less trans-friendly instance, where the use of neopronouns would not be enforced. The community said no and formed a new community on their original instance, got new mods, hookers, and blackjack.

Well that wasn't due to power-tripping though. That was because lemm.ee shut down lol
