I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
“Why doesn’t anyone wanna be my friend? I’ve asked everyone… Asked them multiple times!”
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
You can add me on Friendica
Well that’s a huge red flag right there. Nobody uses Friendica.
@sunshine@lemmy.ca is annoyed at you now.
i actually made an account a few weeks back just to take a look at it

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.
I blocked the whole instance the account is on, but tbh I don’t know what good that does.
Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole

I mean I want to block my ability to be PM’d at all (or maybe by just people I follow)
After hearing about this for months, I have finally also been the recipient of them xD
I just find it most amusing that their room for chatting is “hell”
Not Nigerian enough.
Instance checks out
You’d doubt the Fediverse Chick‽
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.
Who thought “you can call me fediverse chick” would work? Please tell me no one has fallen for this fucking thing.
I gives me “penguin of d00m” vibes
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…
Very tempted to change my display name to Fediverse Chick.
I got it, too, banned the sender, and deleted it as it was obviously a scam. But now that it seems to come back, what was it about, actually? Do they just want to harvest data, or what did they want?
Romance scammer, i’d assume.
So, the “I love you, send me money so I can come visit you” thing?
Got a few myself! Looks like whoever is behind it keep registering on different instances.
Would be interesting to know why they do it
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
Can instance admins check her IP?
I agree, maybe its some social experiment
Probably a scam since it always links to other places. Chances are it will be a “investment opportunity” or something related.
You join a group of what looks like real people but it actually is just a bunch of bots that say how good some scam product or opportunity is.
Could also be a harassment campaign.
Well, yeah. Sad.
I’m afraid they’re doing this to harass whoever’s that girl in the picture
How that possible? Looks like a random photo, or whatever.
Ugh I know. Do I look like I’m after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
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.
