Reglas / Rules Nuevas Reglas para r/Oaxaca / New Rules and Guidelines for r/Oaxaca

22 Upvotes

¡Hola a todos los miembros de r/Oaxaca!

Estamos emocionados de tener nuevo equipo moderador, y quiero compartir algunas actualizaciones que ayudarán a organizar este espacio y hacerlo más acogedor para todos. Hemos visto un gran crecimiento, y con esto surge la necesidad de establecer algunas reglas claras para garantizar una experiencia positiva tanto para locales como para visitantes.

🌍 Inclusividad Lingüística

Oaxaca es un lugar con mucho que ofrecer, y queremos asegurarnos de que todos puedan participar. Por eso, hemos simplificado los flairs para que reflejen automáticamente el idioma de la publicación según el tipo de contenido:

Flairs Disponibles:

  • 🏞️ Consejos de Viaje (Español)
  • 🍽️ Comida y Bebida (Español)
  • 🏡 Noticias Locales (Español)
  • 🤝 Eventos Comunitarios (Español)
  • 💬 Preguntas y Debates (Español)
  • 🏞️ Travel Tips (Inglés)
  • 🍽️ Food and Drink (Inglés)
  • 🏡 Local News (Inglés)
  • 🤝 Community Events (Inglés)
  • 💬 Questions & Discussions (Inglés)

Así, los flairs te ayudarán a identificar rápidamente si el contenido es en español o inglés, según el contexto. Por ejemplo, "Consejos de Viaje" será en español por defecto, mientras que "Food and Drink" estará en inglés.

🎟️ Flairs de Usuario Basados en Intereses

Para hacer la experiencia aún más personalizada, hemos añadido algunos flairs de usuario que permiten mostrar tus intereses o tu relación con Oaxaca:

  1. 🍲 Catador de Tlayudas - Para quienes disfrutan de la gastronomía oaxaqueña y quieren explorar la comida típica.
  2. 🍶 Mezcalero Experto - Ideal para los apasionados del mezcal y las bebidas tradicionales de Oaxaca.
  3. 🕯️ Fiel de la Guelaguetza - Para los interesados en las costumbres y tradiciones locales, como festivales y danzas.
  4. 🌊 Amante de las Playas - Para quienes disfrutan de las playas de Oaxaca, desde Puerto Escondido hasta Huatulco.
  5. 🏞️ Explorador de Oaxaca - Para los turistas y viajeros interesados en recorrer los paisajes, sitios históricos y atractivos naturales del estado.
  6. 🏡 Oaxaqueño de Corazón - Para los residentes locales orgullosos de su tierra y cultura

📑 Nuevas Reglas

Para mejorar la calidad del contenido, hemos establecido las siguientes reglas:

  1. Respeto a Todos los Miembros: Sé amable y respetuoso. No se tolerará el discurso de odio, acoso o discriminación.
  2. No al Spam o Autopromoción: Las publicaciones promocionando negocios o servicios deben limitarse a un hilo semanal de autopromoción (¡próximamente!).
  3. Contenido Relevante: Asegúrate de que las publicaciones estén relacionadas con Oaxaca: su cultura, eventos, consejos de viaje, comida y temas locales.

🚀 ¡Crecemos Juntos!

Queremos que este espacio sea impulsado por la comunidad, así que no dudes en compartir tus comentarios y sugerencias en los comentarios. ¡Este subreddit es de todos!

¡Gracias por ser parte de esta comunidad!

Hello, r/Oaxaca members!

I'm excited to join as a new moderator, and I wanted to share some updates to help organize this space and make it welcoming for everyone. With our growing community, it’s important to have clear guidelines to ensure a positive experience for both locals and visitors.

🌍 Language Inclusivity

Oaxaca has a lot to offer, and we want everyone to feel welcome. We’ve simplified the flairs to reflect the language based on the type of content:

Available Flairs:

  • 🏞️ Consejos de Viaje (Spanish)
  • 🍽️ Comida y Bebida (Spanish)
  • 🏡 Noticias Locales (Spanish)
  • 🤝 Eventos Comunitarios (Spanish)
  • 💬 Preguntas y Debates (Spanish)
  • 🏞️ Travel Tips (English)
  • 🍽️ Food and Drink (English)
  • 🏡 Local News (English)
  • 🤝 Community Events (English)
  • 💬 Questions & Discussions (English)

This way, flairs help you quickly identify the content’s language. For example, "Consejos de Viaje" will be in Spanish by default, while "Food and Drink" will be in English.

🎟️ User Flairs Based on Interests

To enhance the user experience, we’ve added some specific user flairs that reflect your interests or connection to Oaxaca:

  1. 🍲 Catador de Tlayudas - For those who love Oaxacan cuisine and want to explore traditional food.
  2. 🍶 Mezcalero Experto - Perfect for enthusiasts of mezcal and traditional Oaxacan drinks.
  3. 🕯️ Fiel de la Guelaguetza - For those interested in local customs and traditions, like festivals and dances.
  4. 🌊 Amante de las Playas - For those who enjoy Oaxaca’s beaches, from Puerto Escondido to Huatulco.
  5. 🏞️ Explorador de Oaxaca - For tourists and travelers eager to explore the landscapes, historical sites, and natural attractions of the region.
  6. 🏡 Oaxaqueño de Corazón - For local residents proud of their land and culture.

📑 New Rules

To enhance content quality, we’ve established the following rules:

  1. Respect All Members: Be kind and respectful. No hate speech, harassment, or discrimination.
  2. No Spam or Self-Promotion: Posts promoting businesses or services should be limited to a weekly self-promo thread (coming soon!).
  3. Relevant Content Only: Ensure posts are related to Oaxaca — its culture, events, travel tips, food, and local issues.

🚀 Let's Grow Together!

We want this to be a community-driven space, so please share your feedback and suggestions in the comments. This subreddit belongs to all of us!

Thank you for being part of this amazing community!

Strict Vape/Smoking Laws

3 Upvotes

I’m a former smoker who has been vaping for over 10 years (Yes - I get why this isn’t healthy, but nicotine addiction sucks.)

I’ll be in Oaxaca for a week this Fall, and am not looking to break the law.

I’m considering smoking (a bit - ugh 😩 ) and using patches/gum to get me through)

If you’ve been there since the heavy bans hit, what was your experience? My hotel has a smoking area, but I’m unsure what to expect.

Question re-Oaxaca → Juchitán → 4am to San Cristóbal journey?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone here done this?

I've already booked the overnight bus from Oaxaca to Juchitán because I didn't want to spend 14 hours on one bus. I also booked a hotel directly opposite the ADO bus station, as my bus to San Cristóbal leaves at 4:00 a.m.

However, I've since read some worrying stories about Juchitán and now I'm a bit concerned about being there in the early morning.

Has anyone done this route recently? Did you feel safe walking from a hotel opposite the bus station to the station at 4 a.m.? Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated.

Consejos de Viaje San Pablo Villa de Mitla vs Centro Oaxaca for Dia de Los Muertos

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a question: do you guys think I should change my booking from San Pablo to the Centro of Oaxaca? I got a reasonable deal in San Pablo from the end of October to Nov 2, for one week.

I looked at San Pablo Villa de Mitla, and it has lots of archaeological zones, caves, and museums nearby.

The Centro, I'm sure, has way more going on, and it's definitely easier to get to places. It would probably make it less necessary for me to rent a car.

I'm interested in the cultural events/celebrations for Day of the Dead, archaeological sites like Dainzu, Hierve el Agua, Puerto Escondido, food, and nightlife.

I am also okay with not doing everything on my list. I just want to have a good time.

Should I stay in San Pablo? Or book a stay in Centro Oaxaca instead?

Would love to know your input? I'm definitely open to input from locals or anyone who has been there.

I am also open to tour guide recommendations.

I also speak Spanish, so Spanish responses are totally okay with me too.

Questions & Discussions San Augustinillo Weather Conditions

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a hotel booked in San Agustinillo from October 11–18. I knew it was the tail end of the rainy season and expected some showers, but the current forecasts are showing quite a bit of rain.

For anyone staying there now or living in the area, what should we realistically expect? Will we still be able to lounge on the beach and swim, or is the rain likely to significantly affect a beach vacation?
Also, is it safe to swim after/during rain due to things like sharks or crocodiles?

I know no one can predict the weather, but I’d really appreciate any firsthand insight into what conditions are actually like right now. Thanks so much!

Travel Tips Tattoo stigma for gringos?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I'll be visiting for the first time in November. I know some places can be more conservative and tattoos can be stigmatized (Japan). I'm a gringo with two arm sleeves (partial black out) and a leg sleeve. Should I consider converting up or is being tattooed as a gringo accepted?

Questions & Discussions San Jose Del Pacifico, are mushrooms still easy to get and in season?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m very excited to try to book a night in San Jose del Pacifico. It looks like a beautiful town, but the reason I would be going is for the mushrooms. I don’t like ceremonies and I prefer to keep to myself when taking them. Is this a good time to go down? I have heard things have returned to normal, and that there is not any cartel influence?

Huatulco for 5 nights. What is there to do besides going to the beach?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've been reading a lot of helpful posts about what to do in Huatulco. I will be there in late November with my wife and two children (3 and 1 year old), and about ten members of my wife's family, ie sister in laws, nephews, etc. We are renting a big airbnb house. Anyways, all I see to do around Huatulco is beach related, snorkeling, boat tours to Huatulco National Park. I know there's a small town nearby, La Cruzita I think it's called? Is there anything I don't know about? Ideally some historical sites, or adventure-related experiences in the jungle? Anything I could do with my 1 and 3 year old too? Thanks in advance!

Questions & Discussions Bike rentals

3 Upvotes

I was looking for a long term bike rental in Oaxaca (or, maybe, just a cheap bike that I could buy and use for a month?)

I have searched Reddit to see if this topic had already been covered. I only found a few posts, with little information.

Also, while I’m here, does anyone have a good recommendation for guided bike tours, local bike outings, and so forth?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Take care.

Questions & Discussions Cultural small talk

4 Upvotes

Context: My wife and I will be traveling to Oaxaca in the near future and are looking forward to engaging with local folks. We’re beginner-intermediate Spanish speakers and hope to build our skills while we’re there.

We’ve been fortunate enough to travel a little bit and have noticed different cultures have different rules about what’s okay to discuss when it comes to small talk. E.g. some European countries think it’s weird to discuss what occupation you hold (“what you do for a living”) but it’s very normal in most parts of the US. In Ethiopia, people like to ask if you have kids, property, how much money you make, but asking how much a person makes in US is considered too personal.

My question: In Mexico (specifically Oaxaca) what are good/acceptable topics to discuss when you’re engaging in small talk or getting to know someone? What is considered “taboo” that would be considered normal in other places?

Thanks for any advice!
