    I totally agree with what you said, and I actually do have a ‘this is the email I sign up for things with and don’t otherwise check’ address. However, the fact that they claim they respect our privacy and at the same time acknowledge that they are going to send random emails from time to time makes me discouraged to sign letters similar to this. At least with services like change.org, we have some control over these correspondences, but when it comes to campaigns like the one posted here - which, by the way, I totally support - I find this kind of behaviour unacceptable and discouraging.

      And I totally agree with you. The internet’s become very dystopian. “We respect your privacy” is double-speak these days. At least there’s the Fediverse to give me some hope and sanity and help me connect with like-minded others
