NEWS R/Haiti Rule Update 06/2026

26 Upvotes

r/Haiti has grown significantly in the last few years. To keep this space on topic and a space for healthy, respectful, and thoughtful discussion, the MOD team is introducing 5 new rules:

Rule 6: No self-promotion or channel promotion

Links to personal YouTube channels, TikToks, Instagram pages, or any account soliciting followers or subscribers are not allowed, even if Haiti-related. This includes repeated promotion of the same external account or platform across multiple posts. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Rule 7: No low-effort or karma bait posts

We want real discussion, not karma farming. Avoid vague cultural hot takes or shallow posts like "Why do Haitians do X?" or "Thoughts on Haiti?" with no context. Add personal input, background, or a real question to keep your post up. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Rule 8: Limit of 2 posts per user per day

Each user can post a maximum of 2 times in a 24-hour period. This keeps the feed diverse and encourages thoughtful posting. Excess posts may be removed.

Rule 9: Posts must be directly about Haiti

Posts must relate directly to Haiti, Haitians, or the diaspora. Posts that could apply to any country or are only loosely connected to Haiti may be removed. If you are cross-posting to other subs, your r/haiti post must be specific to Haiti and not generic Caribbean or Latin American content.

Rule 10: Posts must link to credible sources

News posts must link to an identifiable outlet, journalist, or official source. Screenshots of headlines, unverified social media claims, and anonymous rumors will be removed. If unsure, ask the mod team.

As a refresher, the existing 5 rules :

Rule 1: No racism

Self explanatory. Prejudice or discrimination based on race or ethnicity. This goes both ways.

Rule 2: No brigading

Engage with the ideas, and argue constructively. Repeated ad hominem attacks will get you a warning, then a ban.

Rule 3: Stay civil

If you can't express your opinion without personal attacks or using profanity, you need to get better at debate.

Rule 4: No Trolling

Provoking an argument or emotional reaction. Inflammatory, irrelevant, or offensive posts and comments designed to encourage an emotional response ( aka rage bait)

Rule 5: No Unapproved appeals for action

Request for collective action, including donations, to take surveys, to sign petitions, or brigading (sending our users to other subreddits). If you think your request is somehow special, send the Mod Team a request, and it will be discussed.

When using the report function, please refer to the rule you think is being broken. It helps us keep moderation consistent.

The MOD team.

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Question about humor

0 Upvotes

Hello Haitian community,

I pray you are all well and safe.

I want to ask a question of Haitians, but I do not know any in real life. If this is offensive, tell me, and I apologize and will delete it.

A while back, I watched a video on YouTube where somebody sampled Trump's disgusting "dogs and cats" accusations, and created a music video. It is NOT mocking or accusing Haitians. I thought it was funny, and that is actually mocking trump, but my friend said it's not funny, and no Haitian would think it was funny.

I ask of you - do you find it wrong for me to think this video is funny, or do you think the video is funny too?

Thanks you and best wishes,

Mike

QUESTION/DISCUSSION Where in Canada is it easier for new Haitians to integrate ?

13 Upvotes

Good morning, I am a Haitian citizen who have been living in USA for the past three 3 years. I recently obtained my bachelor degree and want to start my career. I'm considering making an asylum claim at an official port entry (land border), I have a Canadian family member.

My biggest concern is housing. My uncle supposed they'd provide me some kind of temporary housing and then he'd help me find a private room in shared housing.

Personally, I'd rather avoid living with many people that I don't know. Considering these facts:

- I speak Haitian creole (main language), French (8/10), English (7/10).

- I have around 5000 - 6000 USD (7,107.22 CAD - 8,526.84) in savings.

- I'd be willing to take any job to start.

- I don't have any Canadian history, I may not have a cosigner (I can't fully rely on my uncle).

- I'd like to live in Montreal but any place in Quebec would be fine.

How long do you think it'd take to secure a 1 1/2 or 3 1/2 studio (nothing shared) in Quebec?

I know things are slow in Quebec, do you think I should go somewhere else first before coming to Quebec? Or should I head straight to Quebec and see whether it's worth staying?

I am looking for software engineer roles, I don't have to pick a bad location from the beginning.

I want Quebec because I noticed French interviews are easier for me, however I'm wiling to compromise .

I have around 9k USD (federal loans), payment will start in February 2027.

LANGUAGE (KREYOL) Kreyòl Lyezon ak Kontraksyon

2 Upvotes

Onè!
Gen yon fenomèn lengwistik ki rele lyezon. Lyezon fèt lè yon son makònwn ant de mo nan pwononsyasyon.
« an Ayiti », se pa « ann Ayiti ».

« An » kapab sèvi nan yon konstriksyon vèbal tou fanmi m.

Egzanp:
An nou lapriyè.
An n lapriyè.

La a, « An n » se fòm kontrakte « An nou ».
Kidonk, nou pa dwe konfonn lyezon ak kontraksyon.

Respè!

NEWS Les causes profondes du chaos d’Haïti : Une étude historique et structurelle.

1 Upvotes

Haïti traverse aujourd’hui l’une des crises les plus complexes de son histoire récente. Plus de 5,9 millions de personnes — soit plus de la moitié de la population — sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë, 1,4 million d’habitants ont été déplacés en raison de la violence des gangs, et le pays n’a pas organisé d’élections présidentielles depuis près d’une décennie. Ce chaos, loin d’être le fruit de circonstances récentes, est l’aboutissement de plusieurs siècles de structures prédatrices, d’interventions étrangères destructrices et de choix politiques internes désastreux. Pour comprendre la situation actuelle, il faut remonter à la naissance même de la nation. 

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'écris plus longuement sur mon profil.
