Too bad she didn't sent me her Discord. πŸ™‚

This is starting to feel like a Nicolonoscopy...

i have to assume these photos were stolen from someone who didn’t consent to being involved in this, in which case it’s really not fair to spread these even more

ffs stop feeding trolls and spammers

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People being excited about getting spam from a scammer.

What a time to be alive...

Not a new phenomenon in human nature or on the Internet, by itself. On some wikis (e.g. en.wikipedia.org) there used to be extensive lists of "notorious vandals", then people realized that this only encouraged them further, now this is more limited, but there still is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse

You get scammed into a healthy lomg lasting friendship with a polish girl from Toronto.

Nobody knows because nobody who's tried to follow through has reported anything happening.

Nobody knows because nobody who’s tried to follow through has ever come back. Dan Dan daaaaaan!

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I read that Dan Dan Daaaaaan as the anime not the dramatic music at first and that was kind of hilarious. I probably need sleep.

This reminds me of once when I was playing the original EverQuest. Someone named Dunn entered the zone and everyone there started OOC broadcasting anything from "Dunn!" to "Dun dun duuuuuuuun!" I was young and sheltered and didn't get the reference; I messaged the guy something like "what was that all about?" and apparently he didn't, either. Probably pretty fun to be that popular for thirty seconds for no known reason, though.

It’s just fun that it’s happening here. Feels like the platform is maturing.

As the owner of !nicole@feddit.org and member of the feddit.org matrix channel, the latest thing we suspect is, per @Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org, that it's recorded footage from legitimate livestreams (on peertube and twitch), which where sometimes linked in messages, as revenge or doxxing.

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

That's not good. Revenge / doxxing on this scale should be followed up on.

Legends say she was the first person on the fediverse

[–] Silk@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Serial Experiments Nicole

Nicolaia Ex Machina

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not the first person, but certainly the first and only chick

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

She's myspace Jim, transitioned Edit: Tom, myspace Tom

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

If I look up "Myspace Jim," I get this: https://myspace.com/jim

Is that what you meant? Based on the result when I load the page, it doesn't seem reference worthy, but I don't know of anything else that would be a solid meme.

This isn't meant to attack you or your comment, just resolve my own lack of knowledge.

For what it's worth, when I read your comment, my thoughts went to "it's worse than that, he's dead, Jim, dead, Jim."

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Tom, I meant Myspace Tom. https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2017/12/ever-happened-everyones-friend-myspace-tom/. Sorry for the confusion. He was everyone's "default" friend on Myspace.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

Myspace Tom I know. Thank you!

It is the fediverse welcome package.

[–] chottomatte@lemdro.id 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

This girl is insane, literally... 4 spam messages from 4 accounts on 4 different instances , even after I asked her to stop because I'm not interested, even after I banned her and after I reported her, she continued to send the messages as if she didn't have an atom of dignity and self-respect that prevents her from continuing with something that might expose her to some insults at the very least. In the last two times, it seems that she banned me after she sent the messages so that I can't do anything about it Because of her behaviors, I was thinking of requesting the feature of disabling inbox, or at least disabling inbox notifications so that I don't recieve a notification of whatever she send..

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's spam. They don't care what you say.

[–] chottomatte@lemdro.id 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well I assumed trying is better than nothing, I only tried once though

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

The very first time I can remember getting spam, I was approximately seven. It was an email linking to a porn site, not that I understood that at the time; I don't actually recall what enticed me to click - I think they referenced "playing in a jungle" and that sounded fun. The text said (roughly, it's been over three decades) "come look at my site! I'm not wearing any clothes!" and linked to a site featuring several scantily clad individuals but, immediately on entry, a lady in high heels and nothing else.

I took the email at face value and responded, informing the surely real person sending it that shoes counted as clothes.

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

No, it shows the bot you are active in chat, so they spam you more.

[–] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't think she reads any responses or anything

[–] chottomatte@lemdro.id -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

tbh pronounces don't matter in this issue, whoever that person is, it's unwanted spam

I don't refer to the pronoun but to the fact it all looks like a doxxing campaign or something.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

πŸ˜‚ I've gotten two of these so far, and I've only been here a week.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've been on here for 2 years and haven't had any πŸ₯Ί

[–] guy@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Got my first yesterday! Praise to the fediverse chick

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hold it. There a phone number?

867-5309 (just a guess)

My most recent one didn't have a number. Maybe just someone pointing out open sign up instances to banish? Haven't bothered to look too far.

She really wants to make friends!

Can we stop spamming these posts?

There's a butterfly meme to make here, not sure if it should be aimed at the scammer or the reposts

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can we stop talking about this?

Too late. For better or for worse, it's already a meme.
