- mikeash 7y agoI donated to the ACLU a couple of years ago. They’ve since spent the entire amount mailing me solicitations for more. Their latest one was this really obnoxious envelope with FINAL NOTICE written on it. I like their mission but fuck everything about their solicitation techniques.
- nullc 7y agoLikewise, bad experiences with the ACLU. ... including fundraising messages that I found offensive (and obviously entirely off message for what I understood the ACLU to stand for).
- prepend 7y agoI like to use tracer email addresses. I gave them aclu@mydomain.com and it’s easy to see when they sell my email address as I’ve only ever used that email address with them. When I’m bored one day I’ll try to do a genealogy of how these addresses spread from sale to sale. But I don’t think I keep enough spam to get a cool picture.
- bonniemuffin 7y agoACLU is the worst!! I gave them money years ago and they still send me FINAL NOTICE mailers constantly.
