I've been getting a lot of political spam recently 🤦🏻‍♂️ Pro tip: set up filters—deleting emails mentioning "for congress," for example—then periodically (or never) check what's been deleted to test for false positives 🇺🇸 📬 🔥
I wonder what specific words or phrases I want to use for filters? I get many political newsletters, so I'm wary of deleting false positives. Suggestions are welcome 👍
I usually unsubscribe from junk emails, but it feels like a never-ending war 😭 I'm calling in reinforcements.
