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.

“Competent”

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

That assumes both competency and an admin that actually wants to effectively accomplish things. The people up top want this stupid shit, the people in the trenches generally either don't give a fuck or don't want this either.

Huge amounts of spam can just be cover for sandbagging if nothing else.
