Way to go insulting everyone on Reddit. I'm neither scum or a "villain". I also spend a lot of time on /r/golang and it's nowhere near painful, I have no idea what you're seeing. You should not delete the subreddit, it doesn't belong to the Go team. The content comes entirely from the community and it wasn't an official space until you made it so, asking nobody. Give up control, ask that the new moderators state it's an unofficial community in the sidebar and then stop caring about it.
