It seems people forget that Reddit is a community focused on comedy. In the case of Go, if you want to tell a joke about Reddit not having generics, or poke fun at the people who tell jokes about Go not having generics, /r/golang is the place for that. While that style of comedy may not be to everyone's tastes, there is clearly a market for it and Reddit is currently serving it. If you take away that comedic forum on Reddit, it is not going to go away, it is going to go somewhere else. Hopefully not to the mailing list or other places that serve as hosts of meaningful discussion, where the noise would be a huge detractor. The CEO editing comments to point insults at pro-trump moderators is perfectly in line with what Reddit stands for. Playful and kind of funny, at least for for some definition of funny. I'm not sure what there is to gain from shutting that down? I wouldn't hold a serious discussion there, but I never would have at any point in time. That's not its purpose.
