This is exactly the kind of move that makes Linux hard and unreliable, by poisoning the ecosystem of the largest app distribution channel.

The rule is poorly written and imo what was in place before made more sense. Flathub's current judgement (from what I've seen) on what constitutes "AI Slop" is pretty reasonable. You can see their PRs for the kind of stuff they have to sift through.

I’ve seen the PRs they deal with. There are a variety of ways to mitigate that onslaught and alienating contributors and polarizing yourself against a technology that would no doubt help doesn’t actually solve it. They don’t need a new excuse to close submissions that don’t follow the form.
