Note to anyone playing at home: if you send any trash, make sure it doesn’t include anything with personally identifying information on it.

Or carefully select the identifying information sent.

Wouldn't the "no postage required" business reply label link to the original mailing anyway, i.e. clould that not be linked to your address?

[–] whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Unlikely, as long as you cut off any non-postage-related barcodes. But normally the label just has barcoded address information and the “business reply mail” postage permit number.

Here’s an example, address removed.

I like to just mail the letter they sent me back to them in the envelope they sent, usually with a stick so it doesn't bend and costs more due to hand sort

Why? It seems like the most effective way of unsubscribing to junk mail.

Besides, "if you believe in something, you sign your name to it" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GujKyNduy0c&t=69

You don't have to be an ass to the wage slave opening the return mail, but you can still send them a message. Print out joblistings for the return address area and return them. Maybe add a few Bible quotes. But make sure you are remembered by getting a stack of sassy stickers from temu and putting a few in there as a little gift.
