I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)

Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
“Why doesn’t anyone wanna be my friend? I’ve asked everyone… Asked them multiple times!”
You can add me on Friendica
Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.
@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.
I really do like the project!
i actually made an account a few weeks back just to take a look at it
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.
Doubt
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?
I gives me “penguin of d00m” vibes
Hi, I’m Nicolas, but you can call me the TSAR OF THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE
Still like you more than Putin.
I wonder what this bot is trying to do. The friendica being just a weird profile, the discord just had a bunch of confused basement dwellers and I haven’t seen any creepy links trying to rob us…
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
Blocking doesn’t work since they create new accounts on bunch of different Lemmy instances every time.
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.
it’s from different users on different instances blocking won’t work :(
After hearing about this for months, I have finally also been the recipient of them xD
I just find it most amusing that their room for chatting is “hell”
I got it, too, banned the sender, and deleted it as it was obviously a scam. But now that it seems to come back, what was it about, actually? Do they just want to harvest data, or what did they want?
Romance scammer, i’d assume.
So, the “I love you, send me money so I can come visit you” thing?
Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it
I’m afraid they’re doing this to harass whoever’s that girl in the picture
What is this, like, the opposite of occam’s razor? The least likely, most esoteric possible explanation is the true one?
How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
Can instance admins check her IP?
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.
I reported this bot twice.
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.
Ah. Gotcha. It’s super annoying. I wish there was a way to block messages based on keywords, but this isn’t really the purpose of Lemmy. I guess, neither is scamming people, but here we are.
I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the “friend request”
Not Nigerian enough.
Instance checks out
Ugh I know. Do I look like I’m after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
Amazing. I’ve lost count.
Me neither. We’re so unlovable, even the bots stay away!
I “finally” got one as well.
Oh no

You out there, Nicole? You listening to this?
He called you so many times and you never call him back
You never call my buggy
Did you hear that, Nicole?
Fuck! Fucking cunt!
Call me back!
Yeah I wish this bot would fuck off for good.
Got one too. What’s funny is this is not even a good photo.
looks taken from a video. my guess is it’s a random girl who they stole it from.
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.
Why haven’t I gotten one? Where are you all posting?
I’ve still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn’t jinx it lol)

Hey there, this the chick you’ve been talking about.

Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.
Has anybody actually followed the links? I’m mildly curious.
I am curious too. We should investigate.
Lol, I got mine yesterday. I’d always felt sooooo left out.

“Listen. And understand. Nicole is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are phished!”

Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
ShepherdPie@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
