Or maybe I haven’t just seen this image yet? I’ve only gotten images where she seems to be wearing a grey jacket.

    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.

    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.

      I finally got it too. It feels like a rite of passage. You’re not a full citizen until you got the DM.

      Unfortunately, these images are almost certainly stolen. I don’t imagine many people would consent to their photos being used in a spam attack.

      That said, in the image you can see a bong, and from her face you can tell that she’s high. So these are probably images/frames from a video that was deliberately taken to commemorate this person trying weed.

    I didn’t realize you could send or receive direct messages on Lemmy until I got sent this!

    I recently got my third one… 😅

      I got the first one yesterday and was mildly annoyed that you can not block the sender of a PM directly from your inbox - as you can with authors of post responses. Had to actually click that stupid profile (after reporting it) and block it from the profile page.

        I’ve read that it’s multiple accounts across instances, so blocking would be tricky. I’ve had three so far and I keep getting different photos with each one, it’s really weird

          That may be but my annoyance was with the lemmy UI not allowing direct blocking of a user from an inbox message - when it is possible by going to the user profile.

      DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.

        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.)

      I expect the software to improve. The “fediverse chick” spam is the perfect opportunity to test countermeasures.

        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

          Spam is only going to get worse anyway, just like bots spam on all forum, just by them using a specific forum engine

      Perhaps a way to limit how fast new instances are able to post and tools to identify those causing spam

        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.

    I told her not to message strangers on the internet yesterday. I feel she might be cheating on me.
