Why don’t I have one in my DMs? Did I do something wrong?
You guys almost make me want to get one of those DMs
I gotten 2 so far… I keep em brand new not opened!
The resale value on those babies is gonna go crazy
She kinda looks like my mom lol
I finally got it too, I was almost getting a bit offended to be the only one not considered a valuable mark
Spam FOMO
Omg same, I’ve been kicking around fedi for over a year and just finally got the message this morning from her, I’ve joined the communities and everything she’s really nice!
(/S on the joining the community thing obv)
Can anyone explain me the Nicole lore?
Hot singles in your wide area network.
She is basically … the only reason why the fediverse needs better Spam protection.
To date, anyway.
Nicole uses a DM spambot and sends messages to everybody who posts on the fediverse. She calls herself the fediverse chick, is Polish and adds one of 3(?) pictures to the DM. The weirdest thing is that it seems she’s not trying to get money or tries to scam/hack you. She just wants to be friends.
Suuure. /s
The least convincing and most persistent spam bot is making its rounds again.
Block and Report … it’s similar to Like and Subscribe … but different.
A proud Polish girl?
A scammer?
No idea, she never asked for money or data.
Yes a scammer. They send thousands of the same message from tens if not hundreds of accounts.
So at the very least a spammer, but what’s the grift?
My suspicion is that she’s bored and wants to create her little internet corner, liks a reddit mod wishing a sub into existence. In different social media there were a lot chat-random threads you can be invited into for no particular reason. That’s to observe people, collecting them like trinkets, having some power over them and being an internet microcelebrity.
Idk, that has more sense to it than scamming someone there of all places. People there are not the most gulliable for that sort of scam, but are a diverse bunch of nerds who aren’t bored of old style long posts, conversations and debates, making them a fine material for such purpose.
EDIT: Got my own on this recent acc while other ones spanning years didn’t got it. I copied it, verified the links are what they look like, and proceeded from a clean machine.
Friendica link is a profile with one post (replied to by a Fediverse guy, lol), Discord one is expired, Matrix needs you to be logged into a client and the last one is some matrix-like chat with it’s own registration too I guess? None of these links seem personalized. The name of the last chat says ‘hell’, so I guess it’s indeed a chatrandom kind of a deal, of a 4ch kind.
Yeeaaaaaah guuuuys finally we get the new msg in thr sdf community too! I was seeing all other instances with the new polish girl dress and I was getting mad I didn’t get it too.
I guess today was sdf day.
Which picture did you get?
The same from this post.
Shame, keep an eye out. I want to collect them all.
Anyone here also in the +5 DMs club?
Me on lemm.ee never seeing any of the spambots.
…yet
