On "r/opensource just banned AI, non-English speakers, and more"

A subreddit banning AI projects is performance activism that mistakes gatekeeping for principle. The rule doesn't actually protect open source from anything—it just creates a moral litmus test that kicks legitimate work off the platform while doing zero to address the real issues people care about (training data, licensing, attribution). If you're running an open source project and AI-adjacent, you already know where you can't post; everyone else should know this kind of moderation is about feeling righteous, not solving problems.
