Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.
Got my first Nicole today. Made me kinda happy ngl lmao
Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here
Perhaps a way to limit how fast new instances are able to post and tools to identify those causing spam
That won’t stop anyone. Just spin up 50 instances and let them sit for a while until they’re not so new anymore.
Then when you need one, grab one off the shelf that’s been riping for a while.
It’s only a bump when they get started.
I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.
Damn I didn’t get one with the new outfit yet :(
I really hope Nicole just becomes a huge fediverse meme
I just got this exact DM over night. Never heard of the nicole before. Is she here often?
She’s already a meme. Maybe in 20 years when the fediverse is popular, this will be a thing only us “old timers” know.
I sound like a grandpa now…
You sound like a wannabe grandpa “When are my grandkids coming dear, I want to see them before I pass”
Yeah, where are they?
I am not missing out for once, glad to see nicole in chat room hell
I got 4 nicole messages, beat that
My guy, I’ve got like 9…
i only got like 3
I was hit too just now.
Is that a crack pipe😭
Nicole seems to be experimenting.
Stay in school Nicole!(George Brown College specifically)
Wait…you mean we aren’t soulmates? 😭
You may still be soulmates, but you’re certainly not the one dating her.
Lemmy is so far left that we all share a communal girlfriend
Sorry, who is she? I keep seeing her face in memes.
Basically the first concerted spam/phishing attempt hitting lemmy, so this most certainly non existent lady is now a meme.
My gf, back off
Sorry bro, I think she’s cheating on you.
Some spammer
Or some random image used by a spammer… Who can tell?
pedantic
“Nicole” is (likely) a fabricated character. The character is (likely) different from the image, although the image is commonly associated with the character in our minds. The image is an unaware person smoking weed. However, the character itself can said to be a spammer.
Thus, Nicole is indeed a spammer. However, the person in the image is not a spammer. The image and the character are seperate, even though one is a symbol for the other.
I still have not received a single nicole dm :(
I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.
Same. I vaguely remember a post from a few days ago mentioning a fediverse chick and now I finally know what it was talking about
I can forward you mine if you want
Same. I feel so left out :(
Got my one today. Finally part of the gang.
Has anyone actually bothered engaging?
Getting engaged after just one message seems a bit desperate.
I dunno. Apparently she’s the daughter of a wealthy man who just needs my help to get his fortune out of Poland.
I tried, but failed as the server didn’t seem to exist.
Many of our hard-working instance admins are on top of blocking her whenever she pops up again.
How dare they ban my girlfriend 🤬🤬🤬
How dare you say that my soulmate is “your girlfriend”.
because we’re dating. You may be soulmates, but I’m still the one with the girl. Weep.
I only got 1 massage from her 5months ago, now she ghosted me :(
She gives out massages? Damn, I’m missing out.
With a happy ending?
Damn, I feel bad for you. Now this doesn’t mean that I’ll allow you to make moves on my girlfriend, but I’m there for you.
Same hete, and I am fine with that.
Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth
You have to light two candles, stand in front of your bathroom mirror, turn off the lights, and say “Nicole” three times.
she’s watching you…
Lol good job, op. Sorry, I almost banned you thinking you were “her” again, trying to circumvent their own ban.
The day Nicole moves from DMs to posts is the day we all are in danger.
she’s too proud for that
Off topic but what’s the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?
I’m pretty sure that’s Thunder. I haven’t tried it myself though.
