What a knee-jerk reaction. An admin does one stupid thing so it's suddenly time to abandon one of the most popular websites in the world?
Honestly, I don't think the subreddit should ever have been "official". No one expects anything on reddit to be an official support channel. It wasn't created as one - instead it was slowly taken over by members of the Go team and turned into one. Reading this thread, there's clearly contempt for /r/golang from the Go team and high-profile members of the community, and that's really sad to see, because it shows contempt for a large part of the Go community that use it. The current set of moderators do the job of moderating it, but nothing more - it's just an annoying distraction for them. /r/Golang has its issues, but it's very possible for a programming language subreddit to foster a great community, and plenty of them do. However, that takes time and effort on the part of the moderation team, which frankly I don't think the current team is able to provide. Hand the subreddit over to the community - everyone will be happier. A reddit admin edited extremely insulting posts aimed directly at him and calling him a paeodphile is not a reason to delete /r/golang, it's simply a bad excuse. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
