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 all quotes from the drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket.

[-] Heresy_generator@kbin.social 68 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Givesomefucks@reddthat.com 42 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Radiatic@readit.buzz 35 points 1 year ago

Only pics of people going commando with visible tan lines

[-] IninewCrow@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] Badabinski@kbin.social 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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. ⌘─

[-] Cevilia 29 points 1 year ago

Each post must be precisely the word "comm".

Each comment must be precisely the word "line".

Comm and line.

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

[-] JonEFive@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

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 3 points 1 year ago

Apparently that’s what Huffman learned from Musk

[-] hypelightfly@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

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 7 points 1 year 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.

"Welcome to Com Man D Line. I'm your man on coms, what can I tell you about the D today?"

[-] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] JonEFive@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

reminds me of /(thatothersite)/itsaunixsystem

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.

Open the sub but only allow ChatGPT prompts

[-] PabloDiscobar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] 34@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] IncognitoWolf@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

ASCII pictures of John Oliver within command lines/terminals

How about just opening without trolling?

[-] crilen@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago
[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

It's kind of trolling. Protest trolling? Trolling with a cause? Either way, I'm for it!

[-] lunchmeat@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

'Malicious compliance' is the phrase

[-] JonEFive@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[-] Echostorm@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Found Spez!

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I got my goon squad ultimatum today.

I reported the message as harassment.

[-] kerplunk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I assumed commandline was a NSFW BDSM community to discuss the directions Doms give to their Subs.

Prove me right.

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.

[-] Kettlepants@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Literally an email saying to get yer asses back to work. To the literal free workers. The fucking audacity of it all.

[-] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nice ad for lemmy/kbin, thanks reddit!
