    Today I finally received one, I’m worthy enough to be targeted by a bot.

    Got pinged by the spammer earlier today on Mastodon. Nothing on Lemmy yet.

    Plot twist: Shes just a lonely person stationed somewhere far away from civilization trying desperately to make friends and find love online.

      I can’t explain, no, because I don’t understand the motivation behind it.

      But someone (likely a bot) has been spamming messages, allegedly from the person depicted, as “the Fediverse chick.” I got my first one this morning. It arrived within sixty seconds of me making a post, so I have to guess it’s targeting more active users. If you’re a frequent commenter, you’ll probably get one eventually, too.

    I texted back “Just send me the virus link”, but did not get a response 🙁

    Hah. I just got my first one today. I immediately chalked it up to spam, but didn’t know it was so widespread. Hilarious.

    Does anyone know who this person actually is? Shouldn’t we try to tell them this is happening?

    The real joke for me is lemmy being so starved of content a meme is cast of the first big spam message and people are irritatedly commenting that they haven’t gotten it yet
