Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.
Kinda off topic, but may I ask what client that is?
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 !
is that a bottle or a crack pipe
That’s a bong. Note the curvature on the neck
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.
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
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.
I’ve not seen this yet but that’s insane 😂
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.
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
Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.
Unfortunately, these images are almost certainly stolen. I don’t imagine many people would consent to their photos being used in a spam attack.
That said, in the image you can see a bong, and from her face you can tell that she’s high. So these are probably images/frames from a video that was taken to commemorate this person trying weed.
I finally got it too. It feels like a rite of passage. You’re not a full citizen until you got the DM.
I want to be indoctrinated into the Lemmy Fediverse too. Still waiting for my message.
And what if treat my inbox like every other inbox? Does it count if I get one and never know it’s there?
Why would you say this 😂
The (singular) fediverse girl is kind of sad
There are dozens of us
You’re giving the game away.
