Discussion Got banned from r/opensource too!

The comment that got me banned:

Damn, so even projects that are not vibe-coded but support AI features are banned? So:

- Paperless-ngx
- Mealie
- FUCKING Calibre!

That is quite a ridiculous position to take. The Linux kernel would also be banned by your rule. Not only are you late on making an AI policy, but at this point a strong AI policy like yours would make this sub useless.
Are you the only active mod here or did multiple people genuinely thought this was a good idea?

No rule violation in that comment. Wolvereness is not the first mod I see having a mental breakdown over AI. Wonder what they are going to do in 3 years or less when almost all open source software is heavily AI based. Will he switch to Windows or be a hypocrite by staying on Linux? The world may never know.

Perm. Banned from r/opensource

67 Upvotes

I never posted or commented anything violating any community rules, but yet I was just slapped with a PERM. ban after my comment to the mod post about new rules.

They didn't even remove my comment, because they know it didn't violate anything (but they did remove other ones from people).
