Subreddit r/opensource updated its moderation policies to ban all solo developer submissions and projects built using large language models. Community moderators cite a surge in low-quality AI-generated spam and abandoned single-maintainer repositories, restricting future promotion strictly to established multi-contributor projects across the forum.
