/r/golang subreddit deletion proposal

I personally think this is stupid. /r/golang is a community of its own. Deleting is just because you don't like what Reddit CEO did is silly, and will alienate a lot of people, which is not something a (still) young programming language community needs.

I have no interest in Golang, but if the mods feel strongly enough that they want to leave Reddit, that is absolutely their choice and completely understandable. But as moderators, I feel that they've accepted a moral responsibility to the community that uses the service they control.

If they all want to step down, the correct approach is to add a sticky post, recruiting new moderators willing to take over their roles. "I don't agree with this so I'm going home and I'm taking my ball with me" is childish and frankly a little pathetic.

Oh please don't start the subreddit drama here. What happened there had nothing to do with golang subreddit

What an infantile response to the CEO's infantile actions.

Where would they go? Imzy?
