### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/
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.
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.
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.
Only pics of people going commando with visible tan lines
Jesus ... lol ... that's hilirious ... but also they said activity to make the site less attractive, not more attractive
Lines from Command and Conquer.
Here's my submission idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Sq1Nr58hM
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. ⌘─
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.
This is an attempt to force the sub open and retain your free moderating services.
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.
"Welcome to Com Man D Line. I'm your man on coms, what can I tell you about the D today?"
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.
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.
reminds me of /(thatothersite)/itsaunixsystem
There is a high demand for scripts involving the package PRAW.
Open the sub but only allow ChatGPT prompts
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.
Lines from Command & Conquer the game of course.
"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. "
How about just opening without trolling?
It's not trolling
It's kind of trolling. Protest trolling? Trolling with a cause? Either way, I'm for it!
'Malicious compliance' is the phrase
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.
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.
I've been a long time subscriber to /r/commandline and I'll be voting yes to continued disobedience if it comes to that.
Found Spez!
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.
I assumed commandline was a NSFW BDSM community to discuss the directions Doms give to their Subs.
Prove me right.
I got my goon squad ultimatum today.
I reported the message as harassment.
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.
I still can't get over the audacity and sheer hubris of Reddit demanding that volunteers get back to work.
Nice ad for lemmy/kbin, thanks reddit!
Literally an email saying to get yer asses back to work. To the literal free workers. The fucking audacity of it all.
