Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.
MRW I get a suspicious message from Nicole, the Fediverse Chick
I’m starting to feel really left out
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
I joined the club today.
Checked my messages and yep it is there
Got my first today
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!
Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here
DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.
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
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?
I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.
Damn I didn’t get one with the new outfit yet :(
I really hope Nicole just becomes a huge fediverse meme
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
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”
I got 4 nicole messages, beat that
My guy, I’ve got like 9…
i only got like 3
I was hit too just now.
I am not missing out for once, glad to see nicole in chat room hell
Off topic but what’s the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?
I’m pretty sure that’s Thunder. I haven’t tried it myself though.
Sorry, who is she? I keep seeing her face in memes.
Basically the first concerted spam/phishing attempt hitting lemmy, so this most certainly non existent lady is now a meme.
My gf, back off
Sorry bro, I think she’s cheating on you.
Some spammer
Or some random image used by a spammer… Who can tell?
Is that a crack pipe😭
Looks like a bong to me
Nicole seems to be experimenting.
Stay in school Nicole!(George Brown College specifically)
