“This email looks exactly like all of the phishing email examples that federal employees see in training over and over again,” a Commerce Department employee, similarly granted anonymity, said. “I’m not responding to it.”
I mean it essentially is a phishing email, just like "your social security number will be cancelled unless you provide sensitive info here". Elon Musk is an active cybersecurity threat vector to the functioning of the United States.
Probably the answers will just be run through an "AI" that flags any no-no words like diversie, woman, justice or environment.
Lemmy.world has always been the most Reddit-like in terms of operation. Most others are reasonable about spam management.

When your design goal from the start is to pay artists and actors to shit out a product to sell, don't expect any artistry.
When they lose their job, lose federal grants to their state, lose their immigrant friends, have their grocery bills rise, have unemployment insurance and social security benefits cut, lose business in-town, and their kids stop talking to them...
A good chunk will still blame minorities despite all that. We still have to hammer home to anyone that will listen, that all this stuff is what hate (embodied in the MAGA anti-DEI, anti-woke moment) does to you.
On thinking before you speak, it means this: if something is said that makes you want to respond right away, when you sense a physical reaction (of hurt, anger, sadness or wanting retribution), or you are in a situation where what you say matters a lot (an interview, a meeting with higher-ups in a company etc.), it's a mental cue for you to block immediate responses which can cause you to run your mouth in ways you later regret. Instead, you actively make an effort to listen more, and consider your situation and the other people's situation before responding. So it's not a 15 second pause after each sentence, but a 15 seconds you take while the other person is going on about whatever before you inject yourself into a conversation or before you make your point when it's your turn.
On interacting with your coworkers, they're not your therapists, so you can talk about what's new and the fortunate and unfortunate things that happen to you over the course of a week, but the basic idea is to avoid making your problems their problems when you do.
I'm of a more positive nature but I love to info-dump on my coworkers about my favourite topics. I try to offset that by involving them and asking their opinion, showing them cool things, and then taking the turn to let them discuss their own intersts and thoughts on things, and follow up with that. And I try to get a sense if they aren't interested in talking at a particular moment or are losing interest in the middle of a conversation. EQ skills are about taking that pulse.
If you need a place to start: The idea is give and take, and it should be in relatively equal amounts. Would you be able to tell me what has been on the minds lately of Coworkers 1-3? Or have you spent most of the conversation about yourself and your issues? (#4 doesn't sound interested much in sharing their personal life, so you don't have to probe them on it).
77 million people had better be constantly asked the question: are you wishing you had a Black woman President right now?
I heard there's a new kid on the block, that has some seizable coffers to cover the bills in the interim.
Nothing's illegal if you don't get caught, LOL!
And after Trump butts himself into the picture, Team Canada served him a tourtière of humiliation to his face.

I had been really wanting this for a long time. Finally it's here (as of 2 weeks ago), along with a host of other new road options, tools, performances upgrades and bugfixes.
Trump during the campaign has said a lot of things during the campaign. Some very concerning, some things appealing broadly. Some things he has said polar opposite things at consecutive campaign rallies. (You can still see it happening now with the "Ukraine started the Russian occupation" then "Russia started the Russian occupation"). Some promises he hasn't done a thing to keep, such as make life affordable. I think a lot of people were holding on to that promise.
A lot of other things he didn't promise at all, he is doing, supposedly to bury the lede. Did he ever talk about Denmark, Greenland or Panama in his 2024 campaign? We know he likes tariffs but I think the 51st state BS came about after his election.
