if this market is n/a'd, it proves that manifold loves to n/a markets for literally 0 reason.
how free is this market? (and by this market, i mean all of manifold, and stephen grugett's mind specifically)
1,000People are also trading
ok so in the brief moments before this account is banned, too, i have a message i would like to share
america is the best country on earth. it's about freedom
free speech
free expression
free assembly
free association
i'm really sorry that the core team (i believe 2 of 3 are still standing) are all choosing to throw a shit fit, to antihero themselves, to clown on themselves by "enforcing" their "community" "norms" against... what?
their first investor and the person who believes in the power of the product more than anyone else on earth
i'm sorry i believed in you!
@bidhgfy i'm sorry that i quit my job, broke up with my boyfriend, and followed austin to this "cable car to clown town" (succession reference) even though he was already planning on quitting!
i'm sorry that everyone on the team is a good person, which means the psyop is really hard to execute!
@bidhgfy here are the current psyops
attend Berkeley, California in early June. Whether it's inside or outside Lighthaven is between the Core Team Of Manifold, If Anyone Is Still Around By Then,
Austin Chen, in a vague way, cuz he's still involved
Better Call Saul
Austin's wife, and Austin's baby (not the same person)
that said, if i'm not let into lighthaven ... i can assure you everyone who stays at my airbnb for free will have the time of their lives. free discussion, free expression, free agency, free #duringextremeawkwardness, free love ... all the stuff that apparently, manifold doesn't want in-house
(agency)
@bidhgfy my startup is Rebuilding The Internet From Scratch! (sorry!!!!!) we are looking for, frankly, ALL KINDS OF ATTENTION
this is why i have been saying I AM USING YOUR PRODUCT TO GET ATTENTION FROM VERY SMART, HILARIOUSLY POOR EA TYPES .... BUT THEY ARE ALL GOOD PEOPLE
THEY ARE PERFECT users, engineers, and evangelists (among other demographics)
@bidhgfy agency out for now (but agency will definitely outlast the founders of this rickety operation. we've already been looking into hostile takeovers of private companies, and concluded that we're probably around 6 to 18 months away from being able to buy the company)
@bidhgfy listen, it's too annoying to keep creating new google voice numbers so i won't bother, but obviously i am not barak and i'm not willing to verify my phone number @SG @bohaska @James @Joshua @Tumbles @chris @BTE @jack
whose free speech is this anyway?
i extend my offer to all of you ... if you can prove the human writing this text on a keyboard (or phone input) has the legal name barak, i will award you $1000 USD. this offer expires in 69 hours.
@bohaska because the company is going out of business (losing its core team, slowly then later all at once. losing its culture, slowly then all at once. losing its fun, slowly then all at once) ... because half of each hour is "how will we keep failing to ban barak tomorrow" .... they've had to restrict their standup, under the mistaken impression that i have the time to follow their internecine conflicts
@bidhgfy i moved to new york, started dating someone i'll call harry, am working on the startup (screentime.game fka MeetBilly fka APC fka Manifold Markets (sorry! i'm the first investor) ... my top 10 priorities are not manifold
@bidhgfy it's just that it is amusing to every 10 business days pop in and say
"you guys are clowns, watch, you will ban this alt account too even though it's an entirely new human being, there is no evidence that it's barak (no one has cottoned onto my patented iteration on American English that pluralises things differently (and by pluralise i mean "use s for z in terminal contexts)) ... and now that i leaked it anyone can easily copy it ...... but watch, you'll still ban it"
"the moment you ban it, i will send a flurry of messages ... which you will reluctantly host at your own expense"
"then, i will get the attention i am looking for"
@bidhgfy and then they do! what can i say? i guess it's crazy to spend 15 minutes every few weeks getting attention!
@bidhgfy i have always been very clear about my terms:
chairman of the board with power to unban any account on the discord and product
pay me back my $7000 investment with interest
let me buy the entire company for $69,420 (here, see, i went up in price)
looking promising -- we already got one of our 1001 sleepers banned in only 2 minutes

i predict that manifold will n/a this market for, and i repeat, literally 0 reason. there is no reason to delete a market about whether joe biden will attend manifest
the truth is that manifold never believed in free speech. they never believed in robinhood. they never believed in even trying to build a company. they've only ever earned $300k in profits from crypto. the moment they declare they're a nonprofit, i will be able to write off my investment. until then, the campaign will not end.
