The r/OpenSource subreddit has officially banned anything using AI. In any way. Violators will be permanently banned. Which means… r/OpenSource will ban anyone submitting anything that, in any way, involves… the Linux kernel. https://t.co/cxqm0yHlFT https://t.co/VRlPhCsLiz

Reaction on X: Replies largely mock the ban as self-defeating, noting that Reddit runs on Linux, which now has AI contributions, and therefore r/OpenSource would have to delete itself; one replier calls the mods hypocrites over the Linux kernel exemption, and another says they were immediately banned for criticizing the decision. No response from the original poster is shown.
