r/opensource mods reportedly ban Linus Torvalds for posting about AI in the kernel

Promptmethus · x · 2026-10-25

A moderator of r/opensource apparently banned Linus Torvalds, with the quoted post reading "r/opensource has no use for your kernelslop." Promptmethus mocks the decision: open source's direction is set by its creators, not subreddit mods, and open source will involve AI at the kernel level regardless of moderator opinions.
