Why don't we try to get those mod positions once the current mods are removed. Open the subreddit for a day and then close it again. We will probably be removed but then there will be a new team waiting to close it again.

I have an Odroid c2 for that purpose. Low power but powerful enough to be used for home automation. The c2 is a bit older so there are probably newer versions. https://www.hardkernel.com/
