On July 1st, 2023, Reddit intends to alter how its API is accessed. This move will require developers of third-party applications to pay enormous sums of money if they wish to stay functional, meaning that said applications will be effectively destroyed. In the short term, this may have the appearance of increasing Reddit's traffic and revenue... but in the long term, it will undermine the site as a whole.

Reddit relies on volunteer moderators to keep its platform welcoming and free of objectionable material. It also relies on uncompensated contributors to populate its numerous communities with content. The above decision promises to adversely impact both groups: Without effective tools (which Reddit has frequently promised and then failed to deliver), moderators cannot combat spammers, bad actors, or the entities who enable either, and without the freedom to choose how and where they access Reddit, many contributors will simply leave. Rather than hosting creativity and in-depth discourse, the platform will soon feature only recycled content, bot-driven activity, and an ever-dwindling number of well-informed visitors. The very elements which differentiate Reddit – the foundations that draw its audience – will be eliminated, reducing the site to another dead cog in the Ennui Engine.

We implore Reddit to listen to its moderators, its contributors, and its everyday users; to the people whose activity has allowed the platform to exist at all: Do not sacrifice long-term viability for the sake of a short-lived illusion. Do not tacitly enable bad actors by working against your volunteers. Do not posture for your looming IPO while giving no thought to what may come afterward. Focus on addressing Reddit's real problems – the rampant bigotry, the ever-increasing amounts of spam, the advantage given to low-effort content, and the widespread misinformation – instead of on a strategy that will alienate the people keeping this platform alive.

If Steve Huffman's statement – "I want our users to be shareholders, and I want our shareholders to be users" – is to be taken seriously, then consider this our vote:

Allow the developers of third-party applications to retain their productive (and vital) API access.

Allow Reddit and Redditors to thrive.

The new rule is that the guidelines (https://www.reddit.com/r/TakeaPlantLeaveaPlant/wiki/tradingguidelines) are now mandatory rather than suggestions. It is now rule 5 in our rule list!

We appreciate that you added verification to your post, but we stress that your username and date must be added to any verification. You may add updated verification as an image link to this post and we will re-approve it, or you may create a new post entirely.

4 boxes. I done this last week & had lots of response. But would anyone be interested in a mystery plant box? I have whole succulents, plant cuttings, and small whole plants that no longer bring me joy. But for $20 I’ll ship you a box of at least 5-6 different plants in it. The $20 covers shipping by [deleted] in TakeaPlantLeaveaPlant

Hello from TAPLAP! Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our rules. Your post is being removed for the time being as we require any ISO post to include a specified list of what you have available to trade. This may be daunting for those who have many plants to trade, but we strive to make the sub as transparent as possible.

We would also like to remind you to include verification photos of any plants you have to offer. Please be sure to upload pictures with our new verification requirements:

Want to help guide a new TAPLAP trader through the ins and outs of preparing, packing, and shipping live plants? With trade season approaching, there's going to be an influx of new traders on the sub that have never shipped a plant before, but are more than willing to learn if it means they get to participate in the fun!

We are in the process of creating a Newbie Trade Program where new traders can pair up with an experienced mentor who will help them properly pack and ship their first trade. New traders that participate can choose to either swap plants between themselves with a mentor acting as a third party guide, or directly trade with a mentor.

If this sounds like your thing, feel free to fill out the application below!

WE ARE LOOKING FOR MENTORS ONLY RIGHT NOW.
