I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.
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.
Does she know her picture is being used to spam Lemmy?

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.
I wish I could grow a beard
On the internet, nobody knows your a baby face.

I've only ever received one from them. One of the fediverse's flaws is no central blacklist so if your instance isn't moderated well and actively you're gonna have a bad time.
I think I remember them talking about tools and lists to share between instances but idk what the progress is on that or who was in charge of it.
Lol, I got mine yesterday. I'd always felt sooooo left out.
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.
Or Spam detection. A standard Bayesian filter would catch these with reports.
CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC
Here you go! :
It's so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json

I've still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn't jinx it lol)

I got only one, but I didn't block it so we'll see.
It's a shame people can't just seek out friends at random for real, but in this day and age it's obviously a scam.
Granted, Lemmy people... idk, I guess a Lemmy friend is the kind you dm when you accidentally break your Linux. Or idk, discuss Marxism? Lol
I think the issue is the "random" part of it. If I had a back and forth with someone on a gaming or LGBT or political organizing community, and the exchange was pleasant and they wanted to chat more, I wouldn't be opposed, but if I've never interacted with someone and they are essentially spamming any and everyone the same copypasta, yea that's not someone I want to interact with. Shout out to lemmings that help with Linux too.
Blocking doesn't work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.

Got one too. What's funny is this is not even a good photo.
It's like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you're more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you're super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you're more likely to not bite on the bait.
I'm not even talking about the beauty of the woman in the photo, I just mean it's a blurry, poorly-lit photo that's taken at a bad angle.

That's kinda rude. Presumably they stole the profile picture from some uninvolved person.
I'm not saying she's ugly or anything this is just a blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-angled photo with no character to it.

Would it be wrong to send it dick pics?
Morally? No. From the perspective of nothing on the internet is ever deleted? Yes. People who get duped into sending nudes will often find (I mean, IF they ever find, realistically, seeing how big the internet it) their picture being used by someone else for another duping operation.
Yes. Unsolicited dick pics are sexual harassment, regardless of who you're actually sending them to. Also, I wouldn't put it past people running scams like this to try and use your dick pics for blackmail.
It's okay, I'll put a little black bar so they can't recognize it's mine.
I reported this bot twice.
I've gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
I "finally" got one as well.
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.

Blocking doesn't work sadly
5 msgs per day
I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the "friend request"
