Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.
Just got a DM from her on Mastodon.
I feel so left out
I’m new here and I just received a message from this person, is this an inside joke between Lemmy users ? :D
Yes, but also no. Its a spam bot that basically sends a msg to everyone haha.
We just laugh with it heheThanks !
Oh I got this. I didn’t even realise it was a scam, lol. It seemed to fit with the old fashioned internet aesthetic here. But yeah, this is why I don’t share photos online.
Kinda off topic, but may I ask what client that is?
god dammit, yall are making me feel peer pressured into unblocking her
I’d prefer if you keep her blocked and don’t initiate communication with my girlfriend…
on a serious note
I usually just ignore these DMs and don’t bother to block them because the person(s) behind the account just create more. Also, the spam seems harmless and quite amusing.
How is she “the fediverse chick” when she has a discord chat ?
This is actually a really good question that I don’t have the answer to lmao
is that a bottle or a crack pipe
That’s a bong. Note the curvature on the neck
I’ve not seen this yet but that’s insane 😂
I wonder if the actual woman in the picture is aware of all this. Be kind of wack if it was just a hijacked webcam.
I doubt it, very little people would use their own image in a spam attack.
You can be aware of it without being responsible
Don’t encourage it, we don’t want it to lay eggs.
If you feel left out, she/he/the spam organization, also sends messages (same photo) under; missy29 prodajvodapavel (which translates to sales water pavel, in slovenian)
This still comes off as misgendering. Maybe don’t do that. She makes it clear that she uses feminine terminology even if she is spamming people.
I’ll bet you ‘she’ is not one individual. This is a bunch of people scamming, that’s been going on from many Eastern European countries for many, many years. Scams don’t have genders.
You are still making an assumption against the wishes of the person or people that indicated it. So what if she is lying? It demonstrates that respecting people’s gender is conditional on being good.
Personally, I prefer ‘she/her/hers’ when referring to the likely fabricated character, and ‘they/them/theirs’ when referring to the real person in the image.
I didn’t realize you could send or receive direct messages on Lemmy until I got sent this!
I recently got my third one… 😅
I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.
I’ve read that it’s multiple accounts across instances, so blocking would be tricky. I’ve had three so far and I keep getting different photos with each one, it’s really weird
That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.
Yup. 3, all different accounts and instances
Got Nicoled today
Me too! Am I finally part of the cool and hip Lemmy gang now‽
Got nicoled 3 times.
Does anyone know what the point is?Eyyy me too. I truly felt like I was a part of Lemmy finally
