I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
“Listen. And understand. Nicole is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are phished!”
Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.
Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn’t?
I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.
Creative liberties?? On my communist Linux forum??? Completely understandable, have a nice day
Get ready to be “pig butchered”.
Pig butchered? I’m already halfway there!
Catphished?
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
“Why doesn’t anyone wanna be my friend? I’ve asked everyone… Asked them multiple times!”
I still don’t see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.
FFS got another one after posting this.
I blocked the whole instance the account is on, but tbh I don’t know what good that does.
Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole

I mean I want to block my ability to be PM’d at all (or maybe by just people I follow)
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
You can add me on Friendica
Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.
@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.
I really do like the project!
Same! Honestly one of my favourite fediverse softwares.
i actually made an account a few weeks back just to take a look at it

You’d doubt the Fediverse Chick‽
Assuming all of you are 35-55 year old obese guys with beards living in your parents’ basement kept me safe as a teen and I’m sticking with it now too.
I wish I could grow a beard
On the internet, nobody knows your a baby face.
Doubt
I’ve blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.
CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC
Here you go! :
It’s so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
Went with a traditional wooly look, eh?
We prefer to think of it as ‘nicely trim’, tyvm!
Woah, too hot, I was at work! You should put nsfw in the comment, please…
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.
It’s so grey! I mean whatever you’re into, no shame here.
Bobs and vageen?
Theres an instance for that stuff actually, lemmynsfw dot com. It is, in fact, not safe for work. Unless you work in the porn industry. Or perhaps as an artist of some sort.
Even then, some of those girls look too young. If you see anything too sus make sure to anonymously report the page to relevant authorities.
Or Spam detection. A standard Bayesian filter would catch these with reports.
Who thought “you can call me fediverse chick” would work? Please tell me no one has fallen for this fucking thing.
I clicked on her video stream months ago when I saw it. It’s a real person. She was just typing into a computer, smoking a cigerette. Then I got bored and closed out of it.
Does she know her picture is being used to spam Lemmy?
I gives me “penguin of d00m” vibes
I wonder what this bot is trying to do. The friendica being just a weird profile, the discord just had a bunch of confused basement dwellers and I haven’t seen any creepy links trying to rob us…
Hi, I’m Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Still like you more than Putin.
After hearing about this for months, I have finally also been the recipient of them xD
I just find it most amusing that their room for chatting is “hell”
I got only one, but I didn’t block it so we’ll see.
It’s a shame people can’t just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it’s obviously a scam.
Granted, Lemmy people… idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol
Blocking doesn’t work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.
I think the issue is the “random” part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn’t be opposed, but if I’ve never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that’s not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too.
it’s from different users on different instances blocking won’t work :(
I reported this bot twice.
I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it
I’m afraid they’re doing this to harass whoever’s that girl in the picture
What is this, like, the opposite of occam’s razor? The least likely, most esoteric possible explanation is the true one?
How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
I agree, maybe its some social experiment
Probably a scam since it always links to other places. Chances are it will be a “investment opportunity” or something related.
You join a group of what looks like real people but it actually is just a bunch of bots that say how good some scam product or opportunity is.
Could also be a harassment campaign.
Well, yeah. Sad.
Can instance admins check her IP?
