    oh no! What a shocking development. I hope everyone quickly sends The Fediverse Chick all of their money, so that she might be able to pay her tuition. It’s sad that she has unexpectedly fallen on hard times, but I’m sure if every one of us donates every last bit of money they have, things will be really great! /s

    I suggest to message the instance admins & everyone who facilitates the blocking efforts, telling them the BTC / LTC addresses, so that they can quicly set up corresponding filters.

    Oh wow. So it is a pig butchering scam after all? It might still be a harassment campaign too, though.

    I’m worried for Nicole, the last message I got from her was so chopped up it looked like she was suffering from a neurological condition of some sort!
