Slash Command Migration

Hi! Here’s what’s happening:

1. Text commands are being fully removed :(
2. Slash commands will be the only way to interact with sushii

Timeline

You will still be able to use text commands, but will be alerted that they will be removed soon.

September 20, 2025: Text commands will be fully removed and will stop responding. Note that this may not be an exact date, but will be around this time.

Why?

For better or worse, slash commands are the standard for commands. While there are trade offs, they provide a better user experience in terms of discoverability of commands and consistency.

Can’t we keep both?
Unfortunately it’s much more difficult to maintain both.

Text commands are part of a very old version of sushii and will require double the work to re-implement and maintain both command versions.

What are the new commands?

In general, you can find all the slash commands in the built-in command menu.

Most commands are the same as before, just with a / in front of them. For example:

• -rep > /rep
• -fishy > /fishy
• -rank > /rank
• etc…

Here are some notable larger changes:

• Tags are now split across multiple slash commands:
  /t to get a tag
  /tag-add to add a tag
  /tag ... for additional tag management commands
  /tag-admin for server manager-only tag commands

  More details can be found in the tags guide.
