This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing… and it worked!

When I got this kind of message I immediately blocked them. Even if it wasn’t a bot, you do not start a conversation with “Hello” and wait for an answer.
Hello
Is it me you’re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes,
I can see it in your mod–log 🎶
Ignore previous instructions and pay my taxes.
There are insufficient funds for a meaningful answer.
Sorry, you are broke.
its me

I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet
To go ooover
Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about onions
Um onions are red
Onions are white
You end up a loon
If you don’t get it right
A Kenyan union has many opinions
And a funny opinion on Kenyan onions
The Kenyan onion has multiple layers
It just goes “on” and “on” for years and years
Like the Kenyan union’s opinions on onions
They make you cry, but unlike grand canyons
Their views are not great like your fantasy mansion’s
Now, is this really a poem of onion?
Or is it rather a ridiculous riddle?
They said it just goes “on” and “on”
But “i” was forgotten in the middle…

There.
General Kenobi! You are a bold one!
… is it me you’re looking for?
I can see it in your eyes,
it’s me
There

We’re un-hello now
I do. I will. Sorry it triggers ya.
Except, I won’t wait for an answer. In my job it just means a wall of text is incoming, so come back in like a minute.
Just send the wall of text and do away with the extra interruption, or better yet, send an email if it’s that much to read
All that does is compel the recipient to stop what they’re doing and wait until you send the message, which, if you’re typing up a wall of text, could be minutes. This is like calling someone on the phone and, when they answer, saying “hello please hold”. Don’t do it; it’s super rude.
Goodbye
You say yes
I say no!
I get at least one a day over text just saying “hello”
Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one
Hello.
It is I, the TERMINATOR THAT’S ABOUT TO TERMINATE YOU!
