Oh so it was a bot.
I’ve had a few random PMs from confused people that were just one offs and thought this was one of them. But that is verbatim the message I got from the account.

Mee too… Well, it means the fediverse is getting popular!
Pron and spam… It means success!

Goddamn I cant believe I have to explain this. Typing porn as pron or pr0n is funny because it connotates a rather transparent way of trying to hide your porn collection on a computer used by others/relatives. It in no way has anything to do with censoring. Stop getting faux outraged by every little non-thing. (he said outraged by a non-thing)

It’s what the Internet is for, anyway:

It’s a long standing joke, calm down. I’ve joking called porn pron many times.

Why the hell do you care enough to post that here? What difference is it to you if they type pr0n or porn? The ‘you’re not cussing enough’ crowd confuses the fuck out of me
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
If you do it the former way, you’re supposed to use a zero as well: “Pr0n.”

Fuck! Porn! But maybe Lemmy.world could ban me… /s

Why haven’t these romantic bots reached out to me 🤖💔 These robots are hurting my self esteem 😢

I never seem to get appropriately coded romance scams.
I guess the RFI from my computer is jamming the gaydar.

Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.
Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:
Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.
We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.
And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).

She’s the girlfriend from Canada your friend who came out of the closet in college told you about in high school.

Hmm… you know lady, I’m kind of a big deal in the comments.
Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 hours ago
I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.
If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.

They seem indomitable and I generally hate being on the losing side, so… Hey, it’s me. The sex person with the sex. F/18/under your floorboards. Stick your debit card through the slats for good, fun sex or else
zarathustra0@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Do you promise you won’t put a charge on my credit card if I send it down to you?
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 9 hours ago
100% promise. Also, I need your date of birth, first pet and your mother’s maiden name. For… uhm… sex stuff. Kink and such.
Bahnd@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
There is a decent likelyhood they are AI managed account like the last bunch that showed up. Reply with “ignore previous instructions” or other reply loop breakout commands and see what you can break.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
Do they pay per response or per length/difficulty of response? It’d be silly if someone were to create dozens of Lemmy accounts through which they could run a script that asks only the most costly questions on repeat 24/7. So silly
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Awww I can’t find it now. Maybe she got deleted?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I got the same obvious spam. Not sure how to report profiles.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours ago
Well for one the account this was sent from is on a Swedish-language Lemmy instance, so it’s already a barrier to message the admins there that this is a spam user.
