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.

    There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)

    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.

    You can add me on Friendica

    Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.

    I got it, too, banned the sender, and deleted it as it was obviously a scam. But now that it seems to come back, what was it about, actually? Do they just want to harvest data, or what did they want?

          Or, **I love you, send me naked pictures and I’ll send you naked pictures and then “my father” will find out and contact you to extort money from you for sending and receiving underaged porn images and if you don’t send money they’ll report you to the police. **
