We got our first order a couple weeks ago, loving it so far.

Here’s a literal example (test): I commented 3 minutes ago on a post from @stonekettle.bsky.social and this follow by “Vanessa” happened almost instantly.

Clap!

But…so many porn bots. So many.

Just another idea he claims as IP, but simply stolen from someone, maybe the GEICO caveman.

He could start by putting some of it over the top of his own crudely dug grave. Once it’s mostly full, I’m sure there’d be no shortage of folks willing to top it off.

Jesus, Geoff. Simple Dreams, not Private Lives. What strange Hall & Oates (kinda) dimension did I pass poor Linda into?

And further….if it’s a list broker, it gets perpetuated further as they resell the list over-and-over. And the “cover story”’if caught is that “the list wasn’t sync’d realtime, so the unsubscribe/suppress never populated to the version we are using”

If the sender is unscrupulous, yes. It simply validates that it’s a functional address with a human user at the other end of it. Legally, they’re suppose to remove you from the list. But in my long career, I never encountered anyone who’d even try to adjudicate that.

As a longtime marketer, I learned very early that most emails are quite randomly sent to acquired lists. Since the sender really has no idea if they are good or not, the process of bounces tells them which are inactive. The process of unsubscribing just validates that the email got to a person.

2 of 2…they never feared the same from our side when/if they won. We merely folded up our tents and went home, to read from lawyers about fighting the “good fight”.

1 of 2…Please share an example (any example) where authoritarianism has been stopped through elections, or democratic efforts. As far as I know, the only winning fights against tyranny have been bloody uprisings & wars. Why will/could the US be different?
