A notice on r/opensource, posted by u/Wolvereness, announces restrictive criteria for projects involving AI. The captured post includes an edit saying adjustments will be made. Readers planning a submission should therefore check the community's current rules and subsequent updates.
What the notice says
The post excludes projects that use AI, are made with AI or are intended for AI. Its examples include projects aimed at the AI ecosystem. This describes the participation rules announced for one community, rather than a change to open-source software licences or a platform-wide Reddit policy.
The wording is broader than a request to disclose an AI-generated paragraph. A project creator should read the actual announcement instead of assuming that labelling AI involvement alone would satisfy the criteria it sets out.
What other criteria appear
The notice also lists project-age, active-maintenance, contributor and existing-community requirements. It describes a one-year project history and a subjective expectation of multiple contributors, alongside restrictions on common introductory projects and requests for maintainers.
The captured text separately mentions account age and significant prior Reddit participation. Together, those criteria describe an attempt to limit what kinds of submissions the community accepts, with the details needing to be checked against later moderation guidance.
What project maintainers can take from it
Choose a community whose stated purpose fits the project and the kind of feedback being requested. Read its submission rules before preparing promotional material, and distinguish a moderation decision from an assessment of the project's technical quality or licensing.
This report describes the preserved notice and its stated edit; it does not claim that current moderation settings were tested or that every later submission received the same treatment. The useful practical point is to verify the destination's actual expectations, rather than assume that all open-source communities accept the same kinds of AI work.
