> because my projects on github using zig uses LLM

To be clear, we do not block people for merely having LLM-related projects. Obviously we have opinions about LLMs in a broader context, but in terms of rules enforcement, we only care about LLM usage taking place within official Zig spaces.

It's possible you were blocked in error. LLM detection is not foolproof, so unless it's an open-and-shut case, our usual approach is to just unblock if people reach out to us by email.

I don't think the zig community is necessarily hostile to LLMs, they just don't want it in their "maintained by 10-ish core people not even full time" language impl. Mitchell Hashimoto, a big zig contributor (both money and effort), for example, uses LLMs a lot and no particular shade is thrown.

This is from my own first hand experience both on ziggit forums as well as raising bugs in zig repository. My account on codeberg is still banned on zig repository without any single comment, my issues or pull request raised on that project just went in ether without being accessible, if you see the issue yourself could have made the decision if it was warranted to ban the account, but that right also taken by the core contributor out of spite and disdain for LLM.

I have been in open source world with linux kernel since 1992, never every had seen a community so hostile, especially towards humans who spend time and efforts just out of curiosity, inquisitiveness and trying to support some simple alternative when odds are already against them.

Facing hostile behavior from inside the community made me switch to odin language where they also do not use LLM but are pragmatic about people using it. Cannot comment on Mitchell because I do not contribute with money.

I mean I pr'd something (and it was not accepted) but the grounds have nothing to do with LLMs. I'm pretty vocal about using LLMs to write zig code. Obviously I did not use LLMs in my PR
