Sounds about right

At #Trump’s urging, #USPS board to name #Waste Management official David Steiner as #postmaster general.

Steiner replaces Louis DeJoy, whom Trump forced out of the role in March amid the mail chief’s clashes with billionaire #ElonMusk’s #DOGE.

Louis #DeJoy #Resigns as #Postmaster General 🤔

His sudden departure comes after he struck an agreement earlier this month to allow Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency inside the USPS to cut costs and remove bureaucratic red tape.

Louis DeJoy is another voter suppression wild card in the upcoming election. Can no one rid us of this meddlesome postmaster?

This is your friendly reminder that #louisdejoy is still with us as #postmaster of @USPS #usps @POTUS

A very odd email hit my catch-all today. Someone on an iphone claimed they 'clicked on my email' and could not get out of the send email dialog.

The first confusing part is, well, The account they replied to *did not* exist (hence why it hit the catch-all)

The second part is, It was addressed to an account that *DOES* exist on mastodon

There was no reply block to know what email they were referring to, so I have no idea what was going on, but I have two theories:

1. Someone is sending spam mail using scraped fedi handles. Not unlikely, but, the recipient was a gmail address, so, the likelyhood of that ending up *NOT* in spam is very low

2. The Iphone mail client incorrectly highlights fedi handles as emails, and an accidental tap summoned the send *new* email dialog. The only caveat for this one is that the fedi user in question hasn't been online in over a week, and hasn't posted in two weeks, So it would be weird for someone to get an email about them.

Regardless, I figured this would interest some of you out there, feel free to reply with your wildest theories.

@vdukhovni I messed #dane up and forgot to update the 2 1 1 #tlsa records. I am subscribed to the mailinglist but somehow forgot to read the mails. Thanks to your dedicated mail to #postmaster you made me aware of the issue. I really appreciate that ❤️

#Postmaster DeJoy wants to make the #USPS more efficient. So his solution is to take #mail from this rural #Wyoming town, send it to be sorted in #Denver, and then ship it back to Wyoming again. It's not just absurd. It's also disastrous for #postalworkers and rural #residents. And it's going to make all of our mail slower, too.

It’s always a good day to #FireLouisDeJoy

Mad props to the #telekom #postmaster, got my mail server IP unblocked with less than 20 mins response time 👍
(Didn't had to block me in the first place, but hey, you take what you can get 😅 )

@GatekeepKen

Time Magazine, which tends to lean left, opened my eyes about this guy. I say keep him and let him finish the job. What say you?
