Funnily enough, I had never got one on my old account which was >4 years old on .ml - but after I made this one on my own instance, in less than a day, I finally got one.

Serious question: are there reports of the Fediverse Chick on the Tankie Triad instances? Maybe you didn’t get one because she just avoids them entirely?
Yoga@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Just got it an hour or so ago.
Can someone explain the con?
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Honestly, no idea. Maybe it could be a test for future scams, maybe it could be a social experiment, or maybe its just a troll.
It’s kinda like the “You Are An Idiot” virus.

Could be a friendica Ad.

Probably pig butchering but I’m not aware of anyone that’s went in and came back with a story yet

Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.
zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.
umbraroze@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Botted comments and admins not in the helm.
I’ll admit, the thing that made me go from Kbin to Lemmy was seeing tons of spam on unmoderated places. (Not blaming the admin for not being able to manage the site in that particular case, they had more pressing issues.)
azalty@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Yea, that’s the thing that scares me
nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 2 months ago
this is why I’m ok staying small and never going mainstream, honestly I had hoped that for reddit pre 2010 but by mid 2010s it was already too far gone
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Perhaps a way to limit how fast new instances are able to post and tools to identify those causing spam
InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
That won’t stop anyone. Just spin up 50 instances and let them sit for a while until they’re not so new anymore.
Then when you need one, grab one off the shelf that’s been riping for a while.
It’s only a bump when they get started.

Got my first Nicole today. Made me kinda happy ngl lmao
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 months ago
I’ve only got a Sara. She doesn’t put nearly as much effort in.
Syun@retrolemmy.com 2 months ago
Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve been here since the reddit blackout and Nicole just ignored me until now lmao
CannedTuna@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago

Wait…you mean we aren’t soulmates? 😭
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
You may still be soulmates, but you’re certainly not the one dating her.
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Lemmy is so far left that we all share a communal girlfriend

coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Nicole seems to be experimenting.
IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Stay in school Nicole!(George Brown College specifically)
UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Looks like a bong to me
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wow. They started to get “creative”.
Does anyone know if this image is AI generated or is it just stolen?
Microw@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Given that she looks pretty much the same in multiple outfits across multiple pictures, I would assume that they are stolen from some 2000s online site
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
The person and the background look too similar between photos for this to be AI. The person behind the scam probably searched the web, and stole this poor person’s photos. Judging from the poor quality, I’d date it around ~2008
PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
Wait I’m now realizing, is that a bong?
Benjaben@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah Nicole appears to be enjoying yonder broccoli
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Well, that actually explains the sagging eyes and the melancholy face. Also might be a likely explanation of why these photos were taken: people just like documenting themselves trying out stuff.
Banana@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Bong or dab rig, definitely.
isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
For some reason I was thinking it was a test tube, but a bong seems more likely.
undeffeined@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Also just saw that now!
Omgboom@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I’m starting to feel really left out
Lennnny@lemmy.world 2 months ago
We need a neverbrokeabone community for Nicole-less people.

I may not be the Fediverse Chick, but if it helps, I can DM you.

Penta@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I still have not received a single nicole dm :(
mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.
DesolateMood@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Same. I vaguely remember a post from a few days ago mentioning a fediverse chick and now I finally know what it was talking about
neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I can forward you mine if you want
jewbacca117@lemmy.world 2 months ago

looking good, nicole :)
Speculater@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Do we love our girlfriend or what?
TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
It’'s a social experiment, and this thread is part of the plan.
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Hands off, buddy. She’s mine!
Symphonic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Got Nicoled today
secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
Damn I didn’t get one with the new outfit yet :(
I really hope Nicole just becomes a huge fediverse meme
ColdWater@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I only got 1 massage from her 5months ago, now she ghosted me :(
DeMonstratio@lemm.ee 2 months ago
This is the first time I’ve heard of this.
Anyone know why this message doesn’t lose the “unread” tag. I’m using Boost
CTDummy@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Finally got blessed with an inbox from Nicole today and found this post. Hope this lady at least sent these images to someone and it’s not just someone creeping on their cam.
onyxjet@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I joined the club today.
RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Whoever hacked this poor fellow’s webcam seems to have captured a much better photo to use in their scams.
khannie@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Got my one today. Finally part of the gang.
Has anyone actually bothered engaging?
gigachad@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I an so happy the Fediverse chick wrote me a DM, which really means Lemmy is growing!

Don’t encourage it, we don’t want it to lay eggs.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I wonder if the actual woman in the picture is aware of all this. Be kind of wack if it was just a hijacked webcam.
AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wait, so this is spam? And y’all knew about this? She sent me a DM, too. Guys am I compromised?
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Has anyone gone to her other links? Matrix, discord, etc?

cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months ago
I told her not to message strangers on the internet yesterday. I feel she might be cheating on me.
coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
The only stranger on the Internet, my dear stranger, is YOU! You’ve been played! She was ALWAYS MINE!
