I would just like to point out what a genuinely vile response this is. Your vague and menacing implication is that Florian is somehow a sexist because he disagrees with you is beneath you, Dave, and you should apologise. On Friday, November 25, 2016 at 6:26:40 PM UTC+13, Dave Cheney wrote: >

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

Hello, I'm abjectly torn. I understand and agree that there are strong moral boundaries and trust realms that have been broken. Simply put, reddit has become digg, the shame... I also understand (and firmly believe) that the moderation of the reddit /r/golang community has been lackadaisical at

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

I'm baffled at the people that agree to lessen the voice of Go. If Reddit is not suited to your taste or morals, that's understandable, continue down the road of creating an official alternative, but don't shut down a positive space in a very large world because you find the actions of the

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

God no! Only because bradfitz has a problem with Reddit doesn't mean that all others do Squatting /r/golang and not handing moderation over would be a very unfair move to those who liked *and still like* Reddit If you don't wanna be a mod, fair enough, step down but leave us in peace! -- You

Relax, it was a primarily personal statement from Brad and he wanted to to see if it was shared by others. I am more baffled that not everyone agrees with him but that again is a personal view... fre 25 nov. 2016 kl 15:41 skrev : > It is not up to the Go team to decide

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

The disconnect between what the Go team acting as moderators think about themselves, and what the reddit thinks about the moderator is disconcerting, and it proves that these people are the wrong people for the job. Because some guy (not associated with either Go or /r/golang) abused his power,

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

So 2¢: a) I dislike reddit, it has a pretty bad culture of voting by opinion, drowning out opinions seen as different from the mob and it just, in general, has too many assholes (not /r/golang specifically, but reddit in general). b) I think one good argument for /r/golang over other things (like

Seriously if the community is really a community then it will pop up in another form. If not then it was never really a community to begin with. I agree with Brad that this isn't something I want to condone. In fact if people stopped using services with mgmt like this more often then crap like

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Deleting the /r/golang subreddit

Brad, Again I want to applaud the phenomenal job the moderation staff does on /r/golang. The team really makes it a useful resource. It's become a daily part of my routine as well as countless others. Seeing how this thread has blown up I would like to suggest we put this to some sort of vote if

Or appoint new mods, keep ownership and just make sure the sidebar says "The Unofficial Go Subreddit". Deleting / locking down /r/golang is a terrible idea. Seriously disappointed in the Golang team for considering this a solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
