To be clear, this is just my opinion. Nothing is happening immediately here. I want to talk with all the existing moderators first.
I also want to understand whether the Go project considers /r/golang an official space. The fact that the sidebar says "If you encounter an issue, please mail cond...@golang.org" suggests to me that it IS an official space. If it's NOT an official space, and if all moderators want to leave, then the decision is easy: give it to new moderators and let whatever happens happen. But if Go DOES consider it an official space, then I would argue it shouldn't be. I no longer think the platform is a good place to be associated with. And in this case, we need to decide what to do with /r/golang (make it private, delete it, pass on ownership and request that it be labeled unofficial in the sidebar, etc). I understand there are many users there. I was one of them. There are many things I like about the Reddit UI and voting system. I would love to see a replacement available first before we decide on anything. I probably should've started this thread in private with the other moderators so I had more information to share when I mailed golang-nuts@.
