Every day I get at least 5, and I just hit the button to block them and report as spam. I don’t want to reply to the messages since that will probably only make it worse. Is there somewhere I can register the number that’ll spam them back or something?
Edit: legal suggestions only, please

Look, do ya want it to be effective, or not?

I donated a measley $10 to Dan Osbornes campaign. I’m getting endless texts for Kansas, Georgia you name it democrats
Definitely don’t reply. I don’t think the mark as spam does anything for SMS. You can report to FTC but they probably have a huge bank of numbers so doesn’t make a huge difference.

Maybe you can set up an automation on your phone to automatically block or delete messages with certain criteria (e.g. keywords, number status/unknown)
I think you should separate out your goals, is it to irritate (revenge motivated), or just to be left alone by them?
Because if it’s to irritate, maybe you just shouldn’t bother. A world with more and more irritated people probably isn’t where you want to live, and probably isn’t going to be a kinder world.
Add your number to the do not call list, if they don’t respect it, there are huge fines
There’s a political exception to the Do Not Call law for politicians, put into the law, believe it or not, by politcians. (US context)
