A community is an organic thing it's not just the people who like to hang out at a place. A substantial chunk wouldn't participate in a community run by someone like yourself manifestly at odds with the community. You would end up spending the majority of your moderation shutting down dissent not merely against reddit but against yourself. You would end up presiding over a shell with the original name where even the people who stay don't like or respect you. Have we forgotten freenode?
