It’s with great honor, I inform you all that I’ve finally been Nicoled. I thought I was left out for a minute there

    Seriously, I’m starting to think all these accounts who keep reposting the spammers message as “look it happened to me too” are also part of the spam campaign.

    THE FEDIVERSE CHICK???! Wow. I heard she hardly ever messages ANYONE with this. Truely a rare message indeed.

      Yeah, there’s not that big a difference between Mbin and Lemmy when it comes down to it. Nicole is the Fediverse Chick, after all.

      Your comment is literally the only comment I can see on this post. Looks like my instant is just stingy or something. I’m gonna need to look for a new instant. I’ve been replying to folks from the notification panel and it sucks

        You could use “Open in original instance” feature or something called that to see the other comments on this thread

          Like in an app? On the site of the instance? Where is that option located?

            In post options. In Lemmy default UI there’s the fediverse logo button to open that content (comment/thread/microblog) to the site where it’s coming from

    Wait! This is a thing? I got a message from her a few days ago. I never heard of her before. What’s the story?

      I don’t know the details but I’ve had to ban her account several times (from a number of different source instances) for sending everyone the exact same unsolicited private message.

      I never bothered to figure out of if it’s actually malicious or just some nonce trying to drive up engagement. Either way it’s a weird quirk of Lemmy right now that she’ll eventually DM you…

      It’s a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP’s and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn’t the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

      Same. Thanks to an Mbin glitch “she” even sent me a second message from an account I’d already blocked 🤣

    To those of you as admins on Mastodon, adding a very basic CAPCHA stops it auto creating accounts.

    I have a local mastodon that we maintain.

    Does she ever change her age or has Nicole been 29 this whole time (I assume this has been going on for awhile)? Also, everytime I see the feddie baddie I am now reminded of Nicole337 from youtube. What a time.

    hey guys its nicole

    Hear it everytime.

    When I am trying to sleep.
