Just joined, can someone explain?
There is a spammer begging for money in DMs using that picture.
lol, same here, joined 4 days ago. While reading this thread I notice one new DM - guess what 🤣
Zero DMs for me and now I’m sad
Hi, I’m The Fediverse Chick, and I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty!
Hi! I’m the Fediverse Chick, I’ve been trying to reach you about a Nigerian prince heritage.
Hi, I’m the Fediverse Chick, and you’ve won 15 million dollars in the World l0ttery!
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
You’ve made me realize I haven’t received it. The fomo is suddenly so real.
You got any more of them memes?
Shakes with withdrawal
Hey man, come on. Don’t hold out!
The beans where huge too back then
I need to not poop for three days.
I was there when Lemmy had beans
Can someone explain?
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 almost never comment so this is a test.
I’ll piggy back off your test
Edit: it took 7 hours but I finally got my DM! Woohoo!
I still haven’t had one. Go figure.
Last week I got two in about an one hour time span I think, but they came from different accounts.
The first spammer of the fediverse.
So you are the unfound one, I see
You’ll find someone special for you one day 🙏
Plot twist: Shes just a lonely person stationed somewhere far away from civilization trying desperately to make friends and find love online.
Who isn’t?
Imagine if it’s just actually her pulling the most epic troll in Lemmy history.
She’s in
VancouverToronto.Edit: corrected location
Mine is in Toronto, but originally from Poland
I love the fediverse chick
Woah back off pardner, she’s mine!
This is a really rare picture of her. Amazing.
Rare pepe? No, rare fediverse chick.
Rare Fediverse Chick 😱
What did I miss?
there’s spam bots trying to get people to be like “oh a sexy jewish nerd from poland is into me? lemme yeah send her some money”
Have they made her Jewish now?
she was before i blocked her lol. maybe she’s not anymore?
I don’t find her sexy (I’m straight) and it seems like a guess at best that she’s Jewish.
Is the bong turning you off ?
No, she just looks homely to me
it used to be in the intro. it was in the intro i got
Does anyone know who this person actually is? Shouldn’t we try to tell them this is happening?
I think she is the Fediverse chick
Has anyone actually joined that discord? I’m curious what’s on it but I’m sure as hell not joining it myself
Concerning that it’s this easy for them to spam so many people. She might be exposing how easy Lemmy is to exploit. Does each instance have to maintain its own ban list?
I wonder where the image used originates from. Makes me think of someone’s webcam getting hacked and they’re just doing normal things unknowingly while getting pictures taken of them.
That’s creepy
Literally joined 3 days ago, and I already got her msg yesterday 🤣
The most famous woman on Lemmy.
And she doesn’t even know it
and her bong
