I was okay 'till I donated and got thoroughly spammed by them after that. Not okay with donating there now.

- shp0ngle 4y agoThat happens if you donate to ANY cause, ever. If you give money to, I don’t know, a charity for hungry kids in <insert poor country>, they will send you MORE begging mails, not less.
- andrew_ 4y agoI donate yearly to the Purple Heart Foundation and they're quite respectful in communications.
- Arrath 4y agoSerious. I found donating blood to have been a bit of a mistake, the bastards just won't stop calling asking for more.
- punyearthling 4y agoTo be fair, you donated to Dr. Acula.
- Arrath 4y agoI must say he is quite polite.
- RattlesnakeJake 4y agoSame. I got so tired of the Red Cross phone calls that I changed the phone number in my profile to their customer service line.
- falcolas 4y agoAnd this makes it OK? The status quo’s brokenness is not an excuse for acting like an ass.
- andrew_ 4y agoSame here. Donated once and had to setup filters for the subsequent flood of email. I'd be more inclined to ignore that annoyance if they could get a handle on activist editing, which exists across the entire political spectrum for pages that touch on social or political adjacent topics. But I suppose that's what you get with volunteers. Just can't bring myself to support it.
