[–] [S] 93 points 3 years ago (74 children)

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.

    Lines from Command and Conquer.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    They’ll just restore it if you nuke it. Better to make the sub NSFW so they can’t make ad revenue off of it and set it so that all posts must be mod-approved, then only approve like one post every month so you can show as still being active.

    I really don't care enough. I admin a lemmy instance now. As soon as Apollo stops working I don't plan on logging in again.

    I've heard they're restoring users that nuke their own posts, but I'm not sure I've heard anyone nuking a whole sub before. Mine is small enough to fly under a radar maybe?

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

    Every line that anyone speaks has to be proceeded with proper syntax ECHO speak or removed. Responses should always be whatever they said, followed by C:\

    "ECHO What command should I use to generate this?"

    What command should I use to generate this?
    C:\>

    If they try to type anything other than echo, just say the command is not valid or not found
