What happened?
Due to the recent developments, I have decided to make this community moderator-only. There has been a mass spam attack involving gore and nudity. This is now a very serious situation and it is clear that something has to be done to stop this from happening. The new messages might be from a different, psychopathic spammer.
What we decided to do about it
To have better control of this situation, we decided to lock down the community, except for the comment section on this very post. (Please let me know if I’ve missed a post)
Rules
- Please refrain to further spread the newest spam image, especially uncensored versions of it.
- The “It’s my girlfriend!”-joke is long gone. Be respectful, stop using it.
Going forward
Our main goal now is to stop the spread of spam on Lemmy. This seems like a major problem in Lemmy’s concept, so we need to work together to create a working solution to the spam and potential defacing of users.
Update: The source of the gore images has been identified, so it’s safe to say it’s not actually the same person as “Nicole”. Still fucked up, though.
Assuming the content people are receiving is legal why can’t an uncensored version be posted (with a nsfw tag obviously)?
It certainly isn’t legal. You can’t get consent from a dead person.
What did I miss? The real Nicole is dead and nudes of her were posted?
A new image has been sent to people, depicting what appears to be a battered and deceased woman, topless. It is unclear whether it is the same person as the one in the Nicole spam. It doesn’t immediately and obviously look like the same person, but it’s also not obvious that it isn’t her. The damage makes it a bit hard to tell.
Thanks for explaining. Good on the mods for closing the community. Some people are disgusting.
A picture of a partially naked dead body was posted with the normal text below. It’s most likely an unrelated edit with a picture taken from the internet made by some moron who thought it was funny.
Some people just want to be assholes :/
This being legal is VERY unlikely. Besides, it’s best to not spread this image, for obvious reasons.
