When I registered for the last #nokings protest in 2025, I was *overwhelmed* with SMS spam after that. It's taken a while to extract myself from that to this day.

If you wonder why people do not pre-register for these type of events, it could really be due to the absolute indundation after on political candidates and advocacy. It's a lesson to those that run these orgs, don't abuse us with ads.

@mergy This is also one of the reasons I’m registered to vote as an independent.
@larand I mean it was crazy. Felt like whack-a-mole. Never again.
@mergy
Unfortunately, they probably do it because it's effective...
@ryanjyoder I hope it is for some. Not for me. But, they don't need me. All the more reason to not over do it IMHO.
@mergy This is the reason I don't do ActBlue.
