/r/golang was founded by a non Googler, non Go team member. The subreddit was fine before you guys took over. It'll be fine if you leave. There is a pretty clear precedent set by the Go project for community guidelines. I do no think it is fair to assume the subreddit will turn into a cesspool without you. > I don't think we want an unmaintained /r/golang that looks to be an official > Go space. I'm not sure what this means. What about /r/golang right now makes it look like an "official Go space"? > I don't want /r/golang to turn into crap while looking like it's official. Then continue moderating it your way. And it is quite disrespectful to assume the /r/golang community will turn to crap without you. > So I'd prefer /r/golang become dormant and users go to wherever they like, be > it the Go Forum, voat, or /r/unofficialgolang.

Closing down this community because of your own personal beliefs is a dick move. If you want to voice your personal opinion, that's cool. Close your account, turn on adblock, do whatever. But killing an entire community to make your point is even worse than what you are protesting. > Nothing will happen immediately, but it's clear that we now need a plan for > what to do with /r/golang. If you feel so strongly that you can no longer moderate our community, then please hand the keys to someone who will. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
