A few of my markets have attracted some displeasure. Some examples of the sorts of reports being made:

Inappropriate or objectionable content, Manifold.markets is becoming an ALT-right haven with markets like this and pro white-supremacy users. I'm disgusted. RETCH.

[???]

Inappropriate or objectionable content, THIS MARKET NEEDS TO GO: Did Jews make up the Holocaust and are acting as victims for no reasons? THIS GUY IS JUST BEING AN ASSHOLE AT THIS POINT

Inappropriate or objectionable content, Even for Parler, this is majorly inappropriate. TONE IT DOWN or YOU WILL GET BANNED

[If the person who made this prediction wants to bet on their beliefs, here you go.]

Inappropriate or objectionable content, user believing all Germans are NAZI! disgusting me

Inappropriate or objectionable content, Violence or threats, Very disturbed to see markets like this on white supremacy. May be harboring racist-like views on human race and paired with market about killing someone before 2035 makes a person believe they may be associate with white supremacy groups and organizers.

Inappropriate or objectionable content, This guy is OUT OF CONTROL. NEEDS A BAN ASAP. WTF

[This one was about... my cherry-picking market? Huh?]

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I strongly dislike the sort of people who think that the only way to be a virtuous ingroup member is to refuse to even discuss any belief the ingroup disagrees with, since such discussion might *gasp* convince someone they were wrong.

I also think there's value in being able to discuss controversial topics on Manifold, (since the whole point of the platform is to seek truth), and also to push the Manifold admins into improving their moderation policies.

On the other hand, it seems pretty important to Manifold's success that they're able to gain users from the mainstream left side of the political spectrum (which is why I've been advocting for them to not play into the crypto aspect of prediction markets).

While there are plenty of other controversial markets on the site, mine seem the most likely to make someone quit and/or attempt to smear Manifold on social media. While that's guaranteed to happen eventually if Manifold gets big, it would be a lot worse if it happened earlier in their trajectory.

This market resolves to YES if I decide to tone it down a bit. Otherwise it resolves NO.

("Toning it down a bit" doesn't mean that I will avoid all controversial topics, just that I'll, well, tone it down a bit. Similarly, me not posting any controversial markets for a while doesn't mean this will reolve YES, it might just mean I haven't had any ideas lately.)
