The only girl in the fediverse
She’s a superhero. Fediverse Girl!
Shame. I’ve PM’d a few people and had good conversations.
Sure, but did you at least add context about why you’re messaging them? Like some comment or post they made that you liked and you wanted to talk about similar stuff?
Because that would be kind of normal. That’s what private messages are for. But this one is just bait.
bait could be better.
I didn’t get one 😔
I can catfish you if you want
Me next.
Thanks for the heads up! I never PM anyone on social media platforms unless I’ve met them in real life and they expressed actual openness to talking to me.
I got the same lol
Same here.
Me too.
okay lol i feel less bad for reporting this user now that i know it was widespread
I got like 8 of those :-/
damn how did they think that was gonna look legit 🤣
I’ve been getting a different one for awhile trying to rope me into a crypto scam
I thought maybe it vas a weird quirk of friendica, but yeah this seems more focused
I got it too. Looks like maybe they were banned because it disappeared from my inbox
Got 4 copies of it, I don’t even know how to send a message to “all” here, didn’t think it was possible.
The API is pretty open. you can write a script that sends individual messages to however many people you like
Neither of the apps I use lets me do anything beyond read the message and mark it as read. Is there a profile setting to disable that shit? I have to log into my fucking desktop just to delete the stupid phishing message.
post shoe on head with todays’ newspaper
What’s June got to do with it?
Yeah this was the first thing that i saw in the morning and it was so surreal. I literally woke up, grabbed my smartphone, went to lemmy inbox, and saw this message three times in a row. Clicked through all of them, then fell back to sleep, only to wake up an hour ago and now i see this meme. I guess i wasn’t dreaming this up after all.
who is the woman in the picture? I saw a couple stills randomly posted in comments too.
Maybe those who got spammed have something in common? There’s no complete list of users on Fediverse, but it could’ve targeted a list of users it have seen somewhere, or like community admins, or whatever. I haven’t been spammed although I have a fairly active acc.
I got one from her/it yesterday evening. Also a few days before that I got a creepy DM from some rightwinger trying to convince me that there not a fascist Nazi presence and that “people don’t even know what those things are as they haven’t lived through them”.
Never got a DM before that. My guess is lemmy is big enough or rather left enough for federal intervention and psyops are starting if they haven’t already.
