Donors struggle to stop recurring fundraising messages
Campaign and charity solicitations arrive through email, text, and sometimes postal mail, and people report that opting out is repetitive or ineffective. Political donors describe receiving texts many times a day, while others say checking do-not-contact boxes has not stopped later messages. Because messages come from many organizations and platforms, a small product could reduce the cleanup burden but cannot guarantee a permanent, universal opt-out.
For political donors and supporters inundated by fundraising solicitations. Mentioned from Nov 2023 to Apr 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

I would pay $100 to stop the spam biden fundraiser texts. WTF. 10x a day now
I wish there was one phone/text number and/or one website to get fundraising texts & emails from political campaigns permanently stopped. It’s minor compared to all the shit going on, I know, but man it’s an annoying, daily, deluge
