Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.

Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here
I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.
DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.
Botted comments and admins not in the helm.
I’ll admit, the thing that made me go from Kbin to Lemmy was seeing tons of spam on unmoderated places. (Not blaming the admin for not being able to manage the site in that particular case, they had more pressing issues.)
Yea, that’s the thing that scares me
this is why I’m ok staying small and never going mainstream, honestly I had hoped that for reddit pre 2010 but by mid 2010s it was already too far gone
Spam is only going to get worse anyway, just like bots spam on all forum, just by them using a specific forum engine
Perhaps a way to limit how fast new instances are able to post and tools to identify those causing spam
That won’t stop anyone. Just spin up 50 instances and let them sit for a while until they’re not so new anymore.
Then when you need one, grab one off the shelf that’s been riping for a while.
It’s only a bump when they get started.
Auto flag rapid changes then?
Got my first Nicole today. Made me kinda happy ngl lmao
I’ve only got a Sara. She doesn’t put nearly as much effort in.
Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.
I’ve been here since the reddit blackout and Nicole just ignored me until now lmao
Same! I feel like I’m part of the
haremclub now!Hell yeah!
I told her not to message strangers on the internet yesterday. I feel she might be cheating on me.
The only stranger on the Internet, my dear stranger, is YOU! You’ve been played! She was ALWAYS MINE!
I’m starting to feel really left out
We need a neverbrokeabone community for Nicole-less people.
I may not be the Fediverse Chick, but if it helps, I can DM you.
MRW I get a suspicious message from Nicole, the Fediverse Chick
I keep blocking it, but…
Got Nicoled today
Eyyy me too. I truly felt like I was a part of Lemmy finally
Me too! Am I finally part of the cool and hip Lemmy gang now‽
Got nicoled 3 times.
Does anyone know what the point is?
I joined the club today.
Congratulations! Each Nicole message gives you 1,000 Fediverse EXP points!
Finally a cryptocurrency I can spend.
lol same
Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.
I finally got it too. It feels like a rite of passage. You’re not a full citizen until you got the DM.
I want to be indoctrinated into the Lemmy Fediverse too. Still waiting for my message.
And what if treat my inbox like every other inbox? Does it count if I get one and never know it’s there?
Why would you say this 😂
Unfortunately, these images are almost certainly stolen. I don’t imagine many people would consent to their photos being used in a spam attack.
That said, in the image you can see a bong, and from her face you can tell that she’s high. So these are probably images/frames from a video that was taken to commemorate this person trying weed.
Wait…you mean we aren’t soulmates? 😭
You may still be soulmates, but you’re certainly not the one dating her.
Lemmy is so far left that we all share a communal girlfriend
Don’t encourage it, we don’t want it to lay eggs.
I didn’t realize you could send or receive direct messages on Lemmy until I got sent this!
I recently got my third one… 😅
I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.
I’ve read that it’s multiple accounts across instances, so blocking would be tricky. I’ve had three so far and I keep getting different photos with each one, it’s really weird
Yup. 3, all different accounts and instances
That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.
Is that a crack pipe😭
Nicole seems to be experimenting.
Stay in school Nicole!(George Brown College specifically)
Looks like a bong to me
Wait, so this is spam? And y’all knew about this? She sent me a DM, too. Guys am I compromised?
she sends us all DM’s, thats the joke
from all different instances. its becoming a good meme. I suspect parsing the mod log for her name is a hoot
Damn I didn’t get one with the new outfit yet :(
I really hope Nicole just becomes a huge fediverse meme
She’s already a meme. Maybe in 20 years when the fediverse is popular, this will be a thing only us “old timers” know.
I sound like a grandpa now…
You sound like a wannabe grandpa “When are my grandkids coming dear, I want to see them before I pass”
Yeah, where are they?
I just got this exact DM over night. Never heard of the nicole before. Is she here often?
Every few months, “Nicole” mass spams a bunch of PMs inviting people to click on various suspicious links
