Setting Up a Giving Subreddit

I'm setting up a new reddit: r/smartgiving. Before, when I came across other people writing about giving or charity in ways that seem sensible, I would either try to write a whole post around and responding to a link or I would just think "good writing!" and move on. Having a place where I can post links and talk about them with people should be helpful.

I seeded it with some initial posts so people could see what my intent is for it to look like:

• What a life saved means

• Efficient charity: do unto others

• The most for your money

• The straw ratio: closing thoughts for now

• Money: the unit of caring

• Diversity in giving

• It's for charity, but is it for a good cause?

• How personal should your giving be?

• Why activists should consider making lots of money

• Giving for yourself, giving for others

• I'm basically fine with investing in evil

• Eighty Thousand Hours

• Keeping yourself giving

• Banking as an ethical career

• Giving what we can

• How to get charities off your case

• Our worst subjects

• Charities and waste

• GiveWell

I have a longer list that I'm going to try to post one a day from until the subreddit is self-sustaining. If you come across some writing that you think would be a good fit, please submit it. Or, if you don't use reddit, you could send it to me and I'll post it.
