I will absolutely report these as spam, every time.

"But my deliverability numbers will be impacted! Why don't you just unsubscribe?"

Because they are the very definition of unsolicited.

(Bitterness aside, I know that non-profits depend on contributions, and these campaigns work. Maybe a reasonable compromise would be for the initial message to be unsolicited, but one-time and opt-in, instead of forcibly subscribing me to something that will spam me forever, regardless of my interest?)

@tychotithonus@infosec.exchange Nah. Nuke ’em from orbit. (Are they worth supporting if they resort to sleazy tactics like this? It’s likely the tip of their unethical iceberg.)

@tantramar@mastodon.social It's a fair point, though I suspect that some of them are well-meaning and don't actually understand the underlying tech. "Here, use this to build your outreach" etc.

@tychotithonus@infosec.exchange ignorance is not a defence. If an organisation feels they have been harmed by the bad advice they were given, they can sue the spam-enabler that advised them to spam. But they're going in my block list immediately and forever.
