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.

    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.

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

    I got my goon squad ultimatum today.

    I reported the message as harassment.

    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.

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

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