Yes, that’s a risk, but it also gives communities the opportunity to migrate to a new server in case they get captured by hostile mods.

For example, my government will have presidential elections next year, and it’s trying very hard to preemptively co-opt the corresponding subreddit with propaganda. If the sub had joined the protests and their mods removed, today it would likely be captured by government people. That won’t stop them, for example, from trying to offer money to some mods in exchange for preferential treatment, or even mod privileges, but here the competition means they won’t control the sole community with the country name.
