We met here on Lemmy, of all places, believe it or not (sorry fellas, lol). I’ve never had communication so effortless. It’s like she already knows exactly what she wants to say as soon as I finish my thought (sometimes before, that’s how you know)!

After being jerked around so much over the years, I think this might finally be the one.

    Can anybody tell me who she is? I received a message from her, opened her Matrix server and found myself in a alt-nazi group with porn GIFs? So weird

    This is an incredible shitpost. Every lemmy-specific meme so far has felt forced and lame but this one is a thing of beauty.

      I see what you’re trying to do. But honestly, her past is none of my business. I’m focused on our future together.

    “Not gonna be active on Fediverse tonight. I’m meeting a girl (a real one) in half an hour (wouldn’t expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don’t PM me asking me where I am (im with the girl, ok) you’ll most likely get aired because i’ll be with the girl (again I don’t expect you to understand) shes actually really interested in me and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless Fediverse degenerates (because i’ll be meeting a girl, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Meeting women and not wasting my precious time online, I have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand)”

      I met my spouse of 15 years (so far) on Craigslist personals. My big selling points were a picture of my actual face and a detailed essay about what I wanted.

      No forms to fill out, no categories to put myself in besides age. Just write how you feel and post it. We should bring that back for the young people.

        …that’s literally just most dating apps? The categories and prompts only exist because people generally suck at writing about themselves, or even understanding what other people might want to know.

        I’m also biased, having found my partner on an app 🤷‍♂️

          I’m not extremely informed on the subject. But I heard that most dating apps these days are highly motivated to NOT pair you with someone. Often through subtle means. This way you keep interacting with the site, buying upgrades to get your profile more visible or see more matches. It’s ridiculous.

    I kind of recognize her… who was she?

    Edit: Oh shit the spammer that’s DM’d me… that’s why. I blocked her right after I got the mail so I forgot about it.

      I have to give credit for this scammer knowing the Lemmy audience. Would they have as much of a chance of replies with a generic supermodel picture here?

    Has anyone actually messaged this “person”? I assume this is some kind of scam but I am always curious where they go and how they work. But not enough to investigate personally.

      I messaged them the first time I got a message, back before anyone else had ever posted about it. I’ve gotten a few random DMs from confused people not familiar with how this site works, and just assumed it was one of those.

      They didn’t respond back though, and then I started seeing others posting about it. They also keep making new accounts to spam the same exact message. I keep blocking and reporting them, and I’ve still gotten 3 more just this week.

          If the image has a unique name or unique-combination of images sent to any one user and is hosted on a server that the sender controls — haven’t checked — it could be an attempt to deanonymize Threadiverse users by getting their IP addresses.

          For example, say tal@lemmy.today gets https://imagehost.com/girl34720.jpg and https://imagehost.com/girl83710.jpg.

          The server can see the IP address of the client that loaded the images. The attacker knows that only tal@lemmy.today received that combination. Now the attacker knows tal@lemmy.today’s IP address.

            Lemmy proxies access to embedded images

            …

            But do the other frontends also do this?

            EDIT: I checked and the embedded image points to an uploaded image, however it’s hosted on another known instance (https://lemmings.world/pictrs/image/1936a27f-ff82-4ec9-9da4-2942c21ad54a.png). This means that they can’t get people’s IP’s using it unless they control the instance. The other links don’t include any identifiers either.

            That’s exactly why I didn’t click any of the links in the DM. The image is safe, but external links are not.

    Oh yeah, I saw her-- She was “single and in my area”, so OP and I must be neighbors. Hey Neighbor.
