I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.

    You can add me on Friendica

    Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

        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.

        That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.

        I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.

      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.

    There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)

    It sure would be nice if you could report accounts as bots.

    I still don’t see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.

    FFS got another one after posting this.
