On: R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs

[fishgoesblub]

Banning the dime a dozen slop projects popping up every 5 minutes isn't so bad of an idea, but banning new, or projects that have less than 3 contributors is just wrong. XZ would be banned from being posted. There's also the fact that it appears to be a blanket ban on LLM contributions, so I guess the Linux kernel is verboten?

Single contributor new project open source is LARP open source. It makes no difference what your license is, if nobody cares about your project. That comes first.

How are you going to get people to care if you are barred from sharing it on reddit?
