I got it too twice(I think she’s having issues with fedi and remade her accounts or something) and was going to ask if anyone else did X3
I think she’s having issues with fedi and remade her accounts or something
If by “having issues” you mean “got banned for spamming”, then I agree with you.
I read somewhere (but have no verification of this fact to offer) that the person in the picture isn’t even the one doing this and it’s a weird stalker / revenge situation going on here.
I guess that’s possible, but it seems like a very strange way to do it.
I think more likely it’s a test of the resilience of the fediverse in preparation for a more valuable scam later, using whatever footage the person could get (not necessarily themselves, but not stalker or revenge, either).
that’s what I was thinking too, seeing that her head is sideways, not looking into the camera or even under it like to a screen
According to a thread I read the other day, the Peertube stream the message links to is just a video of her on a loop. I don’t think the person in the photo is the one doing this, it’s either revenge porn or a scammer who just happened to use this pic and video.
If by “fedi” he meant “psych ward”, I agree either.
I got this one too. Just delete it bro I’m already dating her.
If we start receiving spam like this, the fediverse is gaining momentum! I guess somehow this is good news.
Even bots don’t DM me :(
I got my first one last night, don’t worry you’ll get yours too!
I tagged you like a week ago and I’ve already forgotten why.
Hot areas in your nail
waiting to get shingledWhere are all the male porn bots
At least “she” is 29.
Not that I support porn bots, but I keep getting messaged by spammers pretending to be teenagers and it’s turning my stomach.
Why did you censor Nicole’s name? o.0
Bruh
You can’t say shit like that. At least censor it, JesuOh fuck, did I just write the N word?
Porn bots are a sign that business is catching onto the fediverse. Let’s pray they’re kind to us.
i didnt know it was a spam message so i just marked it as read and ignored it, next time i will block.
Is there something that can be done across Lemmy to prevent mass spammers? Surprised nobody used this before. Got messaged twice so far.
One defense could be for an instance admin to set a maximum number of messages someone can send to different accounts on their instance per hour.
This would be a heuristic approach to combat spam but this function would first have to be implemented by the Lemmy developers.
honestly it always astounds me that developers don’t pre-emptively add ratelimiting, it’s such a basic thing to prevent misuse
i guess it’s a case of each instance admin whacking these moles as they pop up. also having anti bot signup defenses.
I’m guessing there’s also stuff that could be done server side to stop single accounts sending the same message to > 100 people or something like that. not sure if that’s already implemented though.
A few days before I got this I got one asking if I wanted in on some stocks or some shit, blocked, then I got this in duplicate, blocked, and now I’ve gotten this same one every day for like 3 days, each time it’s two of em. I block, the chick makes more. The chick is relentless, infinite, and eternal. We must choose now whether to destroy the chick or to worship her, there are no other options.
I just got the bot message last night and immediately blocked the user. Not dealing with this bullshit here.
Report them too, so the resp. instance can deal with the account and connected accounts.
Holds up spork
Never got any of those kinda messages yet, fortunately
(Edit: Now I got the Nicole message… I blocked and reported her account)
