Reddit's r/opensource bans AI-assisted and solo projects

The r/opensource subreddit introduced rules excluding AI-assisted and AI-focused projects, including MCP tools. Projects also need at least three contributors and a year of maintenance, which excludes solo work; moderator Dan Brown stepped down over the dispute.

• Projects made with AI or aimed at AI applications are barred
• At least three contributors and a year of maintenance are required
• Moderator Dan Brown left the team over the rule changes
• The Linux kernel remains allowed despite accepting AI-assisted code
