    ive volunteered for texting campaigns. when you text STOP you believe it’s triggering some program and doing it automatically, but its not. the volunteer sees your response then clicks “mute” or “remove”, it depends on the campaign and the response.

    if you type “fuck off”, they will mute the conversation and you won’t get any more messages (until next campaign)

      Uhm.

      There absolutely are bots that respond to key words.

      But sometimes they just flag you as a live phone number.

      Yeah but I want to tell the person three or four levels up to fuck off, not some idealistic person who thinks these sort of things aren’t just an annoyance.

      That’s amazingly bad management for such a campaign, wow

      The dispensary I worked at handled it automatically, the only human input needed was drafting the actual texts
