r/opensource bans AI projects and adds new rules for other projects

An official moderator post says projects that use AI, are made by AI, or are intended for AI are not welcome in r/opensource. It also asks for at least 1 year of active maintenance, multiple contributors described as subjectively 3+, an existing community, and an OSI license.

The same post says accounts need 1 year of age and significant Reddit contributions. It also tells non-English speakers to find another community, while the moderator says Linux could pass the project minimums under a subjective reading.

The post links 4 alternative communities. That shows new spaces appeared, but it does not establish their size or broader support.
