I think it is worth taking a moments pause and remember that community is over 25,000+ gophers. Those are just subscribed users, excludes just people passing through or who don't formally subscribe (RSS or other means).
I absolutely agree you shouldn't have to maintain something you have a moral stance against. Additionally if the core Go team thinks it shouldn't be an official place, by all means, eject it form the go community space. That said, the idea of intentionally squatting on a namespace to kill off a community of 25,000+ gophers feels -- gross. It feels vindictive not to the CEO of Reddit, but to the 25,000 gophers. Additional, I suspect it will be ineffective. A new subreddit will popup and rebuild /r/golang2 or /r/goproglang or whatever. If you want to stop maintaining it -- at least at this point you could hand it off to some experienced reddit users who could continue to try to make it a worthwhile place and show respect (even in disagreement) to those gophers who happen to like a place that you may not.
