Summary

Free yourself. Go back to the old ways. Especially if you're angry about the influx of new people and AI bots stealing your attention.

Turn off the issues tracker and the pull requests or deploy a bare git server for releasing your code. Find a small group of people you really know and trust and work with them on projects, or do it completely alone.

You don't need to allow strangers to invade your space. You don't need a performative Code of Conduct or an LLM policy. Open source doesn't need to be developed openly for it to be "open source".
