The consensus in the end was that Nicole was a victim of harassment.
IIRC this was only a guess. I don’t recall any definitive information on her or her appearance here, but Lemmy banned her images based on that suspicion.
I just wrote up the story here:
Fair, yet you do point out that it was only a suspicion and we had no real info.
Nonetheless, I’m glad the ‘verse and mods put a stop to the images. If it wasn’t a just a nuisance it was potentially bad.
No positive irrefutable evidence, but the most credible explanation.
how do we know this?
Im struggling to remember the details if im honest.
Initially it was new accounts spamming Nicole photo and links to a matrix channel. However, there was no “Nicole” to talk to, just vague directions to find her at her work.
After a while someone started a community about Nicole posts and there were a few threads kinda collating theories on what was going on.
I forget the details exactly but IIRC someone postulated that is was a creepy stalker trying to prompt people to go find her IRL. On realising that the /c/Nicoled community was fueling creepy wierdo’s game, the mods locked some posts or something.
Thats when shit got real, and the same spam accounts started DMing gore stuff, but no confirmation of whether it was “nicole”.
That was it really. Nothing further.
At the very least, it certainly wasn’t Nicole DMing her own photo to everyone.
There were a lot of weird photos that looked like they were taken from a webcam/stream, in private settings, with extremely specific work address/personal info to tie her in person. There was also no continued communication like there usually is from scammers. Plus the bots spammed from countless instances with the same messages and different pics, like it was dedicated to making sure people would know her irl identity. Not 100% positive, but for a lot of people it felt “off” from the usual scam and spam campaigns. There was a dedicated community of folks who were concerned about this, as well.
Other spammers eventually rode the coattails and tried crypto-scheming with similar strategies but those were more “traditionally” scammy.
Nicole my destiny
oh god not nicole
The Fediverse Chick if you’re nasty
Nicole, beloved, how we miss you.
The sun does not shine your absense,
nor does the moon glow.
The wind doesn’t tickle the leaves
and the clouds swell in their stagnance—
unable to bless us with the rain.
We languish in this hell of stillness
desperately awaiting your return.Obviously the Fediverse banned the future of dating, before I ever got to bang her. Damn fediverse!
Why does she have MS13 tatooed onto her forehead?
Because it came off the back of her hand when she wiped sweat from her brow with it.
Is this a “the game” situation where if you actually explain anything you lose? Because none of the comments explain what this is about…
Many moons ago, when all this were trees, this lass spammed our inboxes.
I do not fear your puny robots.
Ah, well that clears that right up.
“the game”
Yay, thanks. Now I lost another round.
I hear FidoNet whispering in modem noises.
Sometimes Usenet sends me messages and there isn’t even any warez attached
Is it that fediverse chick that was sending me messages?
Its not safe here.
