r/opensource just banned AI, non-English speakers and more

The moderators of r/opensource implemented new submission rules that ban projects using, made by, or intended for AI, stating that AI is incongruent with the open source community. The rules also effectively ban non-English speakers by requiring English proficiency to distinguish AI-generated content. Additional restrictions mandate that projects be at least one year old, actively maintained, and have multiple contributors, which prevents solo developers from seeking help. The changes have caused significant backlash, including the creation of a rival subreddit r/trueopensource, with critics arguing the rules are too broad and vague, and pointing out that the Linux kernel contains AI-generated code.
