Cool Americans should report their obnoxious Republican coworkers.

Whatever you do, don't email anything at all to DEIAtruth@opm.gov. Especially do not make them aware of "parties with lemons" or "girl in a tub" or "Swedish (SE) goat".

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.

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 DEIAtruth@opm.gov.

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.

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

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

I don't think they are that bright.

Hola, tu madre es una DEI.

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.

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

Have you ever wondered how you would act if you were the neighbors of the family harboring Anne Frank and her family? A lot of people are about to find out for real.

So i know this guy who only got hired because of the color of his skin. His name is Donald Trump, he's the token orange guy. No idea how to do his job.

DEIAtruth@opm.gov is asking for non-stop spam. DDOS the fuck out of the US government.

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Spam is easy to filter out. It's important to make it look as authentic as possible

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

Oh God, I hope no one knows how to write an LLM script to write huge numbers of plausible-sounding reports sent from anonymous email accounts. It would be even worse if the reports were set up to send investigators into organizations that shouldn't exist, like ICE.

They'll just filter out anything not coming from .gov

The way this is worded...

I dont think this is to go after minorities. It will have that effect, at least for minorities who received a promotion or position change within the last 4 months, but that isn't the goal here.

This is to lay the groundwork to fire a very specific person. Somebody the president likely doesn't have the ability to unilaterally fire himself, but somebody he can throw under the bus and perhaps have a show trial thrown their way, which would begin the process to remove that person.

Question: who has the ability to block necessary parts of the administration's coming goals, can't directly be fired by the president, and has oversight over the employment contracts of federal employees?

Btw, there's no apparent reason anyone couldn't send them an email. Would be a shame if they received so much email that it made it difficult to spot real ones.

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 16 hours ago

I feel there is an endless number of incompetent chishet white men who would fit the definition.
