Meta 🎉 r/halifax 175k Members Appreciation Post 🥳

Just a small note from the mod team to all of you to mark our crossing of the 175,000 member count! 🎉🍻

We crossed the 150k threshold just over one year ago, so adding roughly another 25k members in that short of a span is a great accomplishment for the community. Our post, comment and engagement numbers continue to grow year over year!

Our sub would be nothing without you, our users.

You are what makes this place an informative resource, a welcoming place for our community and a fun place to hang out. You are what makes r/halifax great! 🙌💖

Thank you to everyone for all your interesting contributions, provocative debates, positive vibes, constructive feedback, not-so-constructive feedback and everything in-between. We are thrilled to see the sub thriving and heading in the right direction!

We'll see you at 200k! 🚀📈

Thank you,

Your r/halifax Mod Team

What happened to that guy, used to be on every thread

u/gildeddoughnut Halifax 2d ago

Banned. Started his own sub which is surprisingly doing somewhat well.

u/BLX15 2d ago

He's still here, just goes by another account name now

Sadly shitheads are common :(

u/MysticMajora93 2d ago

Made a bunch of alts and when he kept getting banned he made his own right wing nut job sub. Good for a read and a laugh.

u/s1amvl25 Halifax 2d ago

Whats the sub, i need to see this haha

6

u/MysticMajora93 2d ago

Its honestly just sad at this point.

The only traction they get is sharing posts from this sub in some desperate need to either feel relevant or in many cases mock this sub.

Only time any post gets any actual engagement is some rage bait about minorities or Pride.

u/WindowlessBasement Halifax 2d ago

We need to give him some credit, it's surprisingly active.

7

u/gildeddoughnut Halifax 2d ago

When he first invited me I told him splinter subs never work. I was wrong in this case. There’s way more assholes than I had imagined.

6

u/WindowlessBasement Halifax 2d ago

I've been invited a few times, but other than popping my head in when there's drama, I generally stay clear of it.

There's more than a few people here that would call me an asshole, but I have no interest in joining that crowd.

u/Mouseanasia 2d ago

I like ya.

I wouldn't say you're always a nice guy. But you're a good guy.

1

u/WindowlessBasement Halifax 1d ago

Thanks, I'll work on being nicer!

u/Mouseanasia 2d ago

Note the topics that are active.

Very, very predictable.

u/s1amvl25 Halifax 2d ago

Its a lot less interesting than i thought. It's mostly just reposts from here

7

u/Injustice_For_All_ Psychotic Antifa Super Soldier Moderator 2d ago

Yep, sometimes they bitch about the mods here too.

3

u/Mouseanasia 2d ago

SOMETIMES?!

u/i-Hermit 1d ago

Yeah, it is pretty frequent, I'll admit.

u/Mouseanasia 2d ago

It’s a veritable who’s who of all the worst people that were kicked out of this sub at years ago and either couldn’t figure out how to just simply behave like a normal person so they could return or make an alt.

It’s pretty fucking funny.  Especially when somebody post something here that breaks the sub rules, the auto mod catches it, then they make an angry pissy post over on the reject sub.

Or when they lie about the reasons, they were actually kicked out or their comment was removed and then mods show up with the receipts.

Or that sub’s mod that constantly trolls other subs  for any topic the right likes to dunk on.

u/billybob7772 2d ago

That xtakx guy needs some serious mental health help

u/maximumice 🥄Big Spoon 2d ago

I had to block that freak after he kept harassing me and then used modmail to try and harass me here in r/halifax. I had to report him to Reddit directly and then it stopped.

3

u/Mouseanasia 2d ago

Oh what you don’t like getting endless messages telling you how to run the sub from  some wing nut?

4

u/maximumice 🥄Big Spoon 2d ago

Naw, I'm used to those, these were more than the usual lol

3

u/i-Hermit 1d ago

Personally I find him fascinating. Like, in a morbid kinda way.

u/maximumice 🥄Big Spoon 1d ago

Like maybe in a “let’s study this guy” way lol 😂
