It's with great honor, I inform you all that I've finally been Nicoled. I thought I was left out for a minute there

I got nicoled the other day. Not sure what to do with that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Wait! This is a thing? I got a message from her a few days ago. I never heard of her before. What’s the story?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I don't know the details but I've had to ban her account several times (from a number of different source instances) for sending everyone the exact same unsolicited private message.

I never bothered to figure out of if it's actually malicious or just some nonce trying to drive up engagement. Either way it's a weird quirk of Lemmy right now that she'll eventually DM you...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

It's a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP's and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn't the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

Does she ever change her age or has Nicole been 29 this whole time (I assume this has been going on for awhile)? Also, everytime I see the feddie baddie I am now reminded of Nicole337 from youtube. What a time.

hey guys its nicole

Hear it everytime.

When I am trying to sleep.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Of course, everyone gonna call them the fediverse baby.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Just like the baby from 2001 space odyssey

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's good to see Lemmy's mythos expanding.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please file Nicole between “Beans” and “Trying not to Poop”

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

.........you want to digest Nicole?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe we should create a dedicated community

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

What's keeping you ? (before you return the question, I can't I'm still left-out)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nice ! Have you invited Nicole ??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Can’t since she usually gets banned immediately lol. Good riddance.

Seriously, I'm starting to think all these accounts who keep reposting the spammers message as "look it happened to me too" are also part of the spam campaign.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

WHEN WILL SHE COME FOR ME!?!?! WHY MUST I REMAIN ALOOOOONE!!!!!?!?!?!?!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Be patient like I was. Love will always prevail, buddy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

THE FEDIVERSE CHICK???! Wow. I heard she hardly ever messages ANYONE with this. Truely a rare message indeed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (6 children)

You're not alone, it's not just Lemmy users pwned, coming in from an MBin user from 4 weeks ago:

AFAIK he's on http://lonestarlemmy.mooo.com/ while the picture's on http://lemmings.world/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is that picture an Mbin exclusive? Is one of the rarest one out there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

no, its just a picture from another instance

heres the picture

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, there's not that big a difference between Mbin and Lemmy when it comes down to it. Nicole is the Fediverse Chick, after all.

I think I'm sitting on her fourth message already.

See you later, virgins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Same. Thanks to an Mbin glitch "she" even sent me a second message from an account I'd already blocked 🤣

To those of you as admins on Mastodon, adding a very basic CAPCHA stops it auto creating accounts.

I have a local mastodon that we maintain.

Is Nicole into beans? Or beef stroganoff?

So I guess 'Nicole' is a bot or something? Feeling FOMO

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

spam bot. tho there is a funny timeline where she's legit, just really excited about the fediverse, and all us are clowning her for it
