### 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.
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
Well, it being not safe for work does make it less attractive to advertisers.
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.
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. ⌘─
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.
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.
"Welcome to Com Man D Line. I'm your man on coms, what can I tell you about the D today?"
All posts could require l33t speak. Go full in on the "I'm a early 2000s hacker because I can ping Google" vibe.
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.
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 got my goon squad ultimatum today.
I reported the message as harassment.
I reported the board of reddit for self-harm before all the blackouts were happening... Got the token auto-response as expected
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.
I assumed commandline was a NSFW BDSM community to discuss the directions Doms give to their Subs.
Prove me right.
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?
All post must be screenshots of OS/2
Nice ad for lemmy/kbin, thanks reddit!
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.
User poll in the subreddit, so that you’re meeting the desires of the users. Do they want John oliver or nsfw content? They get to decide!
I'll definitely be doing a poll, but as well as a couple of malicious compliance options, one of the choices will be to return to how things were before, and I might also throw in a "stay dark" option. Whatever happens I don't want Reddit admins to be able to turn around and say "you are going against the wishes of the users of the sub".
