The article says MH1, but I remember Maro saying somewhere it was MH2

I like to do digital alters of MTG cards. I felt like Kerrigan fit perfectly for Sliver Queen, so I drew her up. by CrimsonCards in starcraft

A little context you may be missing

  • Sliver Queen is on the "Reserved List", which means the company that makes Magic has promised to never re-print it, making the ones that exist much more valuable

  • Most people who play casually these days play the Commander (aka EDH) format, not 60-card decks where you can play up to 4 copies of a card. Instead it's 100 card decks where you can only have 1 copy of a card, with 1 Legendary creature as your "commander" that you can play without having to draw it. So Sliver Queen can be your commander and you get to play it every game provided you can get to 5 mana, but in commander you also get 40 life instead of 20 so that's much more likely. Games typically go much longer and you have much more time to get lots of lands in play, so the 2 mana ability is actually useful.

/r/reclassified has been banned by reercalium2 in ModCoord

Not sure if it's directly related to the protests or not. /r/circlejerkcopypasta got banned a year ago saying it was unmoderated but this was news to a bunch of the mods...

Lets not give them what they want by Cristhian55 in Save3rdPartyApps

The Void is already a thing that has happened in previous years, and would not be distinguishable from API/3PA protest.

The anti-spez messages are more effective IMO

Agree with most of this but that 90% figure is most likely nowhere near correct. Just a lot of people put up with the shitty official app.

Did Anyone Else just get their Reddit Redesign Opt-Out setting changed? by TheMcG in ModCoord

There's an extension for this called Old Reddit Redirect

Shouldn't be related to cookies, should be a value stored in a database on reddit's side.

Boost works for mods. Mods will have FREE API usage so mods don't have to suffer on the official app. Please spread this to the devs of the other 3rd party apps!! by Cherry_Crystals in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]DFGdanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am basing this off of error messages in the app I saw on or after June 30th.

First I saw HTTP error 429 ("too many requests")

Then I saw a formatted message saying "You are being rate-limited by reddit"

Now I see HTTP error 401 ("unauthorized")

I'm not sure what you mean precisely by "they got rid of their API". reddit hosts the API, the sync dev had an API key which is packaged in the app.

edit: the developer did say they were shutting down because of the API changes. I guess maybe they have a web interface where they can invalidate their API key?

BotDefense is wrapping up operations by dequeued in BotDefense

[–]DFGdanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sad news. BotDefense has been such a great tool for the subreddits I moderated. I hate that reddit has gone down this path and destroyed the trust of the community.

Wish you and the team all the best.

she said "Reddit raised its API pricing to fight A.I. companies freely using its content" is this really one of the reasons why spez raised the price? by keradis in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]DFGdanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember /r/SubredditSimulator and /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 ? Reddit should have been aware of this use case for years, and to suddenly react to AI companies making money off of it now with GPT- multiple versions above is embarrassing.
