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

    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.

      she sends us all DM’s, thats the joke

      from all different instances. its becoming a good meme. I suspect parsing the mod log for her name is a hoot

    Worried how unusable this place will be if real spammers find their way here

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

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

    Damn I didn’t get one with the new outfit yet :(

    I really hope Nicole just becomes a huge fediverse meme

      She’s already a meme. Maybe in 20 years when the fediverse is popular, this will be a thing only us “old timers” know.

      I sound like a grandpa now…

        Every few months, “Nicole” mass spams a bunch of PMs inviting people to click on various suspicious links
