I used a paid for service to help clean out my gmail accounts. I’m considering this, but curious if the name is a turn off for others like it does for me? As a baby GenX(er), is that a generational thing?

Do you mind sharing what service you use?

Would only be bothered if they don't append a marketting signature to the bottom of all my emails. Sent by unfuck email. Go un-fuck yourself.

How often would you even see the name of this thing considering it is a one-time install in your gmail account?

  It's nothing to do about having that word show up in my email, and instead whether my opinion on professionalism and my perception on how professionalism may impact the quality of the product is out of touch. It's more akin to how attitudes regarding professionalism shift generationally--e.g. tattoos.

It doesn't actually delete anything. Just filters them out of the main inbox. I find that helps you find what to delete, though. Fair enough about the name. I am just sick of all the notifications you get from email. Or the dreaded iOS badge that says 1 million unread emails.

Mid X here. The name doesn't bother me. If it works that'd be fine. OTOH this doesn't solve a problem I have. I rigorously unsubscribe all promotional emails, and that seems to work fine.

Also a baby GenX and also not thrilled with the name. It could be great, but am I going to use it on my elementary aged child’s devices. I’ve long thought the casualness of everything is our (GenX collective) fault, however. I see this as an extension of tshirt and jeans to work at an office job. The unforeseen consequence being the elimination of decorum everywhere. It’s not really about vulgarity, but a general lack of respect for others, standards for ourselves, and dissolving social culture. What language is reserved for shock, emphasis anymore?

Fundamentally this is a file made to be uploaded to gmail or fastmail named `<provider>Filters.xml`. In what universe would you "use" this on your elementary aged child's devices? > I see this as an extension of tshirt and jeans to work at an office job.

I think we'll be okay with dispensing of the "social culture" that is slacks and a polo.

(Millennial) it doesn't particularly faze me, for a while I used/tried out the cli tool 'thefuck' at work for example, but certainly I agree in the sense that I wouldn't choose such a name for my own thing, and it does surprise me a bit that people do. It's attention-grabbing though, I suppose.
