Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.

MRW I get a suspicious message from Nicole, the Fediverse Chick
I’m starting to feel really left out
I joined the club today.
lol same
Wait, so this is spam? And y’all knew about this? She sent me a DM, too. Guys am I compromised?
she sends us all DM’s, thats the joke
from all different instances. its becoming a good meme. I suspect parsing the mod log for her name is a hoot
Checked my messages and yep it is there
Got my first Nicole today. Made me kinda happy ngl lmao
I’ve only got a Sara. She doesn’t put nearly as much effort in.
Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.
I’ve been here since the reddit blackout and Nicole just ignored me until now lmao
Same! I feel like I’m part of the
haremclub now!Hell yeah!
Got my first today
Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here
DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.
Yea, that’s the thing that scares me
this is why I’m ok staying small and never going mainstream, honestly I had hoped that for reddit pre 2010 but by mid 2010s it was already too far gone
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.
Auto flag rapid changes then?
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
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…
I just got this exact DM over night. Never heard of the nicole before. Is she here often?
Every few months, “Nicole” mass spams a bunch of PMs inviting people to click on various suspicious links
I got 4 nicole messages, beat that
My guy, I’ve got like 9…
i only got like 3
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
Same. I feel so left out :(
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.
Damn I feel left out. She hasn’t messaged me :(
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 only got 1 massage from her 5months ago, now she ghosted me :(
She gives out massages? Damn, I’m missing out.
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.
With a happy ending?
Same hete, and I am fine with that.
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 told her not to message strangers on the internet yesterday. I feel she might be cheating on me.
The only stranger on the Internet, my dear stranger, is YOU! You’ve been played! She was ALWAYS MINE!
