I had different opinion than guy who joined the Go team in 2019 (Ian Lance Taylor). I was banned from their github repo, my AdSense sites were removed from Google's index, my AdSense CPC dropped by 2/3. My github account was "flagged" aka disabled from being seen in public. I was on github for 7 years. I received nonsensical "not in accordance to policies" messages from AdSense all of a sudden when that happened aka the whole sites were being flagged as not following policies.

And all that because I wanted a font that you can easier read than the stupid roboto font.

Go may be open source, but you're not part of it. It belongs to Google and anyone disagreeing with them they will actively attack you.

I still use Go and every time I use it I'm reminded of their bullying and power tripping.

My sites are still off Google's index btw and any new sites receive the "no content" response and are rejected, despite there being content.

You made an enemy that day. You always meet twice in life. I'll pay that back to you.

Yes... Updated my comment. It was misleading :(

11 years it's a long time. Back then I was hoping Go would overtake Python's position as the default earth-science and engineering programing language. It didn't. And if it didn't in 10 years, it won't ever.

I've not had a good experience with them either. I was contributed a bug fix to the std lib which would've been a decent feather in my cap. Not even a thanks; some maintainer copied, pasted, made a few changes, merged "his" fix. 2014 iirc; extinguished my interest.

github is owned by Microsoft now, did you try to get your account to normal ?

Any commits we can refer to, so we can expose this situation for potential contributors?
