We're not actually that small, we have about 90k subscribers. But we're still small fry compared to many that are closed.

In the spirit of malicious compliance, if anyone has any suggestions for what /r/Commandline could become, I'd be delighted to hear them!

Make it a NSFW sub to mess with their advertising. Something like only allowing pictures of dominatrix culture with the titles being dominatrix-style commands.

[–] Radiatic@readit.buzz 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Only pics of people going commando with visible tan lines

[–] IninewCrow@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jesus ... lol ... that's hilirious ... but also they said activity to make the site less attractive, not more attractive

Yep, nsfw means no ads.

Also set it so a mod has to approve every post before it shows.

That way the sub is technically up and they can't take it or make money off it.

[–] Untitled9999@kbin.social 32 points 2 years ago

Turn it into an NSFW subreddit, as others are doing, because then Reddit can't run ads on the subreddit.

Also, their whole spiel about subreddits being for users, who you are letting down, is obviously a crock of shit. They care about one thing only - money. They care about being able to continue financing their BMWs, because God forbid they have to ride the bus.

Each post must be precisely the word "comm".

Each comment must be precisely the word "line".

Comm and line.

Perhaps only allow users to post titles and comments that are a command and a line? Like this: ⌘–

EDIT: and have that be the only moderation restriction going forward besides things that would get the subreddit removed. The more relevant the post is to the literal words "command" and "line" and the unicode symbols I posted, the better.

EDIT: correction, I posted an endash. Something like a box drawing line would be better, i.e. ⌘─

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Lines from Command and Conquer.

[–] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is an attempt to force the sub open and retain your free moderating services.

[–] JonEFive@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well, yes and no. It's an attempt to force the sub open and give the "option" to no longer moderate. They're perfectly willing to part ways with you as a moderator as long as it gets the sub open. Their view is that everyone is replaceable.

[–] redballooon@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Apparently that’s what Huffman learned from Musk

[–] hypelightfly@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They appear to be picking subreddits that would be high on search results. I can see how command line would fit.

If you have a way to find out what posts are returned most often through search engines you can remove them.

[–] JonEFive@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

change community rules to apply retroactively that in order to maintain freshness and improve visibility of smaller posts, anything over x days old or over x karma will be removed.

All posts could require l33t speak. Go full in on the "I'm a early 2000s hacker because I can ping Google" vibe.

"All posts must be self-posts formatted as code and must only be *nix/Mac/Windows command line input.
No link posts allowed.
All comments must be formatted as code and must only be *nix/Mac/Windowsal command line output. "

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I just received the same notice for my "largest" subreddit with 1.3k subs. But not my 500 or so sub ones. It's been a fairly deadish sub for 2 years so I was surprised to get a notice.

Must be a mass mailing, maybe minimum traffic or sub count filter?

Fuck em. Might just nuke it and delete all posts.

There is a high demand for scripts involving the package PRAW.

Quotes from Zapp Brannigan.

[–] 34@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Only regular expression commands, that way the 99.9% of us will never understand the content.

[–] esc27@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago
  1. Create a strict commandline syntax that all posts must follow

  2. Require all posts to be proper code for any command line syntax, but they must be tagged for that syntax

  3. Only allow pictures of people directing lines of people or traffic (commanding lines)

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

How about just opening without trolling?

[–] crilen@kbin.social 30 points 2 years ago

It's not trolling

[–] JonEFive@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

depends on the desires of the majority of the community I would say. If the majority of the community says they want to change the community, then who are we to disagree? I'd vote for the change. Unfortunately for that vote, I haven't been on Reddit since before the blackout. The only reason I'll be going back will be to delete some/all of my posts.

[–] losttourist@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, once I've had a few ideas that we like the sound of, we fully intend to offer the sub's users a genuine vote on its future. If nothing else, it will stop Reddit admins from simply saying that we're going against the members' wishes.

Either way, once the new rules are in place and the sub is open I'll personally be quitting as a moderator and leaving Reddit completely because I no longer wish to devote my unpaid labour to such a company.

[–] Badabinski@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've been a long time subscriber to /r/commandline and I'll be voting yes to continued disobedience if it comes to that.

In the spirit of malicious compliance, if anyone has any suggestions for what /r/Commandline could become, I'd be delighted to hear them!

Posts must be images which are exactly 1 pixel wide. Post titles must all be the word "command". No text allowed under the images.

Subreddits belong to the community of users

I wonder if Reddit’s lawyers saw this letter before it went out.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

I got my goon squad ultimatum today.

I reported the message as harassment.

[–] Kettlepants@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I still can't get over the audacity and sheer hubris of Reddit demanding that volunteers get back to work.

[–] WytchStar@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We have a duty to keep these spaces alive

What's this "we" shit? You mean You. You, faceless corporation, have a duty to keep the communities open and accessible by as many eyeballs as your little ads can handle. Mods are unpaid employees that manage your toxic users and keep your website profitable. You pushed too hard. You took too much for granted. And now you think you're not the next Digg.

[–] trynn@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ASCII pictures of John Oliver?
Alternatively, only allow discussions about how to set up or use kbin/lemmy/other fediverse software from the command line?

They sure like talking down to volunteer moderators as if they're disgruntled employees and not the betrayed former free revenue generators that they were.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Nice ad for lemmy/kbin, thanks reddit!

[–] EricAux@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe John Oliver photos turned into ASCII art with https://www.ascii-art-generator.org/

[–] BigVault@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Command; give an authoritative or peremptory order
