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.
