And this is a mistake. The /r/golang reddit was not created as an official Go space. The late Uriel created it, then gave mod power to some people, including /u/rsc from the Go team, and to some other people not from the Go team. People from the Go team had no involvement there **whatsoever** until very, very recently. Even now their involvement has been minimal. At some point some /r/golang moderator from the Go team abused his power and decreed the /r/golang an official Go space. Nobody was asked, it was a hostile takeover. Some voiced their concern, but not for long, because, after all, the Go team are not terrible people and as I already mentioned, the Go team still continued to not have any significant level of involvement there. > But if Go DOES consider it an official space, then I would argue it shouldn't > be.

Pass it on to whoever, and make it clear in the sidebar that this is not officially associated with the Go project. -- Aram Hăvărneanu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
