weren’t donations always flagged to be a temporary thing that may or may not continue to exist? I’m not inclined to search for links but that was my understanding.
“That being said, we will do everything we can to communicate to our users what our plans are for the future and work with anyone who has participated in our platform with the expectation of being able to donate mana earnings.”
″everything we can” is not a couple of weeks notice and lot of hassle. Am I supposed to trust this organisation in future with my real money?
If you are inactive you have until the rest of the year to donate at the old rate. If you want to donate all your investments without having to sell each individually, we are offering you a loan to do that.
We removed the charity cap of $10k donations per month, which is going beyond what we previous communicated.
Well they have a much larger donation than has been spent so there were ways to avoid this abrupt change:
“Manifold for Good has received grants totaling $500k from the Center for Effective Altruism (via the FTX Future Fund) to support our charitable endeavors.”
Manifold has donated $200k so far. So there is $300k left. Why not at least, say “we will change the rate at which mana can be donated when we burn through this money”
seems like they are breaking an explicit contract (by pausing donations on ~a weeks notice)

We are trying our best to honor mana donations!

Nevertheless lots of people were hassled. That has real costs, both to them and to you.
I’m discussing with Carson. I might change my mind but i don’t know that i’ll argue with both of you at once.
