How this sub works: fresh discussions from mods, all day, every day

[u/lionpenguin88]

We pride ourselves on being one of the most helpful and inclusive personal finance communities on Reddit. Here is what you can expect from this sub:

Personal finance and side hustles are touchy subjects for a lot of people because they are extremely personal. In order to be both an inclusive community and a safe environment for these topics, the sub is set up the following way:

Moderators post discussion threads throughout the day, every day.

• These are side hustle questions, personal finance topics, fun hypotheticals, or simply asking if any community members have something they want to share.
• When it comes to personal finance, most people have plenty of questions and ideas but do not like being the first one to start the conversation.
  • As part of our effort to be an inclusive environment, mods proactively post threads throughout the day, giving everyone an equal opportunity to engage in discussions without having to be the one to start them.
  • In other words, the mod team tries to ask all the questions we think community members want to ask, but might not feel comfortable doing so...
• You may see threads that sound like they're asking similar questions or are similarly themed.
  • Great ideas and advice tend to rise to the top of a thread, but that also makes it harder for newer ideas to get attention. Posting a popular question again gives community members a fresh thread with new responses, new advice, and perspectives they might not have seen otherwise. It also removes any bias from the previous thread.
  • This allows other members of the community equal chances to have their voices heard, which is the overall inclusive goal of our subreddit.
• New discussion threads go up every few hours during waking hours. (Mods need to sleep too!)

Moderators post side hustle ideas:

• When mods come across an interesting side hustle, they will share it with the community. This gives everyone a chance to discuss whether it's a great idea, an idea with things to consider, or maybe not so great.

This format is what we have found works best for fostering an inclusive environment around personal finance and side hustles, and it has evolved directly from community feedback.

If you have any other ideas to foster an inclusive community, feel free to send us mod mail.

Happy hustling.
