    I was the one who proposed deleting /r/golang. That's not the point. If Github were modifying our code or Google Groups were modifying our mailing list messages or SMTP content for their own amusement we wouldn't trust them for a platform either. I don't think we should demand less of Reddit. My proposal is no longer to delete it, but to just disassociate ourselves from it, making it unofficial like it used to be.

      Honestly, if I had been opening thousands of issues on GitHub that called defunkt a pedophile, I would be wholly unsurprised if I got trolled back, and I certainly wouldn't expect unrelated organizations doing real code things to leave the platform in solidarity. Not to say this was okay in any way, but certain subreddits are... pretty special places.

      How much were you associated with it before the story broke?
