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".

[–] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 163 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 112 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No they can block a temp domain.

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

Sounds like a great use for LLMs.

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 40 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in this case, the first filter rule would be to route mail from gov and contractor domain to an actual inbox.

Cool Americans should report their obnoxious Republican coworkers.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 71 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Yeah and?

Of course they're doing this. Expect a WHOLE lot more of this. 50 bucks say that next month everyone will be getting an email urging them to rat out ~~Anne Frank's~~ immigrant hiding places, and failure to do so might earn you a ticket to the same ~~death camp~~ immigrant vacation camp

Its like Trump's government is watching all sorts of WWII documentaries and intensely writing down all the ideas they're getting from it

Start reporting DEI hires like Amy Coney Barrett and Marco Rubio? Did they give Vivek a position or did they just lead him on? The letter my brother received asking him to rat out his coworkers was sent by a woman, probably a DEI hire.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Will "suspected of being a DEI" be the new McCarthy witch hunt?

[–] The_Shwa@midwest.social 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, these, the immigrant hotlines, and the anti lgbtq+ messaging are the new witch hunts. The same message as before but a little bit louder and a whole lot worse.

Actual Nazi shit

Ah yes the Ministry of Truth over here

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 47 points 1 year ago

Secret police kind of crap. This is scary!

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rat out your non-conformist comrade to The Party’s Commissariat.

[–] RamenJunkie@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The shitty part is, what does that even mean?

"Hey, they hired a black dude, better report it to the DEI Snitch list."

Its just a weird open invitation for assholery.

[–] WamGams@lemmy.ca 41 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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?

Become a Government informer. Betray your family and friends. Fabulous prizes to be won.

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.

Elon Musk is a DEI hire right?

He's certainly neither qualified nor elected, so I can only assume he's there to boost the syphilitic nazi quota.

[–] Xain52@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got this too. No way in hell I’m going to bring attention my way. I hate that my application to move positions got thrown out because of this guy.

if only there was an agency they could trust to report abusive and threatening employers.
