This will all get filtered out pretty quickly. The best way to hit this is with very authentic looking email. Wasting their time is the best recourse.

Sounds like a great use for LLMs.

I know from personal experience that signing up an email address at huge numbers of random online retailers becomes very annoying very quickly.

Definitely don't do that with [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

That's trivial to filter out at the server level though. Might waste a few minutes of time, but a competent admin would barely be annoyed.

[–] skulblaka 2 points 4 hours ago

That assumes both competency and an admin that actually wants to effectively accomplish things. The people up top want this stupid shit, the people in the trenches generally either don't give a fuck or don't want this either.

Huge amounts of spam can just be cover for sandbagging if nothing else.

“Competent”

[–] [email protected] 21 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They're most likely only looking for email from other dot-gov addresses.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago

I don't think they are that bright.

Again, probably not going to be as effective if you do something that can very easily be noticed and filtered out. They're not going to try to translate the Spanish just in case it's an earnest report, they're just gonna delete it and move on. An effective fake report should force them to waste actual resource on investigating it.

I just want to cause emotional damage with the language of the devil.

[–] chlopczyca 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Again, not really the point of sending fake reports. They'd just see the Spanish, delete it, and move on. The point is to give them something they'll see, want to read, and want to spend as much time interacting with as possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not here to help you fix your country. I just stare in disbelief and cope with bad humor. They'd delete my German StaSi letter anyway.

[–] chlopczyca 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's not my country either, and I'm not asking you to fix shit. You just posted something kinda dumb and kept doubling down on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I understand, but I'm not seeking optimization of my workflow. Tanks anyway.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you just found a great use for a LLM chat bot. That and a temp email service.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No they can block a temp domain.

If they block say gmail or outlook they would block millions of people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah good point so more temp email account on yahoo or Gmail or outlook. So they can't just block that email
