The Reddit forum r/opensource banned publications about all AI-related projects: those created with AI, running on AI, or intended for AI. The Decoder reports this.
In addition to the AI-topic ban, projects must exist for at least one year and have several participants. Publications not in English are also excluded.
Following these restrictions, a competing forum r/TrueOpenSource appeared. The source does not specify who established the rules, when they took effect, or how large the new forum is.

Why it matters
Likely consequence — further demarcation of thematic communities around publication rules for AI-related projects. The next observable signal will be increased activity or the solidification of the rules in r/TrueOpenSource. Substantial uncertainty remains around participants' reactions, the size of the new forum, and the exact moderation practice.
