Hey all, I can certainly understand your concerns regarding reddit, but I do think that the idea of "deleting /r/golang" is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction.
I can't say I am thrilled about the situation, but myself and many others have been using /r/golang as our primary Go news source for years now. As far as I am aware, there is no suitable replacement for it at this time. I am personally willing to evaluate and trial other options, such as a new Gopher Academy site or similar as bketelsen mentioned, but at this time, I don't think an immediate deletion of /r/golang is the correct solution to this problem. It's worth noting that many on /r/golang are already strongly against this proposal as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/5eqs64/proposal_to_delete_rgolang/ Just my two cents. Thanks for your time. - mdlayher On Thursday, November 24, 2016 at 6:53:32 PM UTC-5, bradfitz wrote: > > In light of the CEO of Reddit admitting to editing user comments (see > dozen news stories today), I propose we delete the /r/golang subreddit. > > That is so beyond unethical and immature, I no longer want anything to do > with that site.
