I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
It sure would be nice if you could report accounts as bots.
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 feel so honored. Got one of these today.
Blocking doesn’t work sadly
5 msgs per day
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.
Doubt
I reported this bot twice.
“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.
I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.
I don’t know if it’s because I use old.lemmy or what but I have no idea wtf this meme is about.
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! :
Went with a traditional wooly look, eh?
We prefer to think of it as ‘nicely trim’, tyvm!
It’s so grey! I mean whatever you’re into, no shame here.
It’s so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.
Woah, too hot, I was at work! You should put nsfw in the comment, please…
I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
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.
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
deleted by creator
I mean I want to block my ability to be PM’d at all (or maybe by just people I follow)
Yeah I wish this bot would fuck off for good.
What’s the purpose of such a message?
Almost all of these turn into attempts to get the target to buy into some crypto scam or other.
It’s not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it’s meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money.
Ah. Gotcha. It’s super annoying. I wish there was a way to block messages based on keywords, but this isn’t really the purpose of Lemmy. I guess, neither is scamming people, but here we are.
I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the “friend request”
