Your instinct is wrong. If you want them to stop, you have to tell them to stop.
Yes, they will add you to other phone lists, but I think they’ll do that whether you text STOP or not. Also, it takes like 5 seconds.
I consider myself lucky because I can’t recall ever getting any messages like that from either side. Closest I’ve come is mail for local candidates for non-presidential office.
Meanwhile I’ve actually donated and gotten zip,
Someone probably gave them your phone number
There really is a white dudes for Harris group that’s doing an event this week. A friend (who’s crazy smart and i would trust him above most) share info about it. I was initially skeptical because of the name but looked into it because it came from him. I thought they had an interesting writeup about changing the white dude image.
Still not a good idea to cold text people about it.
A friend told me that if you use undesirable language (please don’t stoop to racial slurs), they’ll mark your number as ‘hostile’. This will propagate to other lists, removing you from them before you’re even added. She swears (pun intended) by it.
Barack OSAMA is a soshaless and I WILL TERRORISM YOU and the like. Got it.
That… that’s the opposite of what I said to do
hhahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha
I just like the fact that “Fuck off” has the same functionality as stop sometimes.
If it’s a non-racial cuss, she’s sent it to these folks. One bloke had the audacity to ask her to stop using that type of language… so she used it even harder.
Yes … Get used to it
I like to waste as much time as possible with them because I have no life
Actually scambaiting is the closest thing I have to religion these days
Sounds legit.

I have definitely seen an uptick in these over the last two weeks. Multiple times a day, some calls, too. I was involved in some activism 10-15 years ago so I accept it (still baloney tho). It has started on my work phone as well...
That looks like a desktop app. You can send SMS from your non mobile computer?
It seems to be the SMS integration that MacOS can have when you also own an iPhone.
You can do the same on Android on any other operating system
I practically disabled SMS on my phone. Let’s see them spam me on Matrix.
Filters are your friend. If this is a text message, there are SMS apps which can filter messages by content.
I block all unknown numbers.
