Megathread: Nicole research
Who is Nicole really? Who got messages from Nicole? Who is behind the messages? What is the resolution of Nicole's profile images? Do I really have to be a racist to join her server? This comment section's purpose is to collect all that information.
Everyone who got a Nicole message: Please get in touch here, you all might have something in common.
i get them every so often. This morning I had two
Got my first one today
I suspect what we have in common is that we all use Lemmy or Mastodon
Of course, but people who aren't active seem to get fewer spam. But they might just don't post it, because they are inactive.
Yeah I only started getting them when I posted/commented
I thought it was because they are reading comments and posts that people share and spamming those people.
Had something similar on reddit a long time ago, got added to a private subreddit because they saw me comment in a community
I've stopped getting them after my first one, and I've got none on the microblogging side of things.
i got a message yesterday, and havent been very active for a few weeks now
If the user isn't active, the spammers have less chance 9f getting their username
Woahhh, this checks out!
Nice try Zuckerberg
Received it after leaving a comment in gonewild. Prime hunting grounds for lonely guys I guess. Was my second comment ever and my first was way earlier therefore I'm sure that it was the gonewild comment that triggered the bot to send me the message.
I only got one after I mentioned somewhere that I hadn't gotten one yet. It wasn't immediately after, but close enough to make me suspicious.
What user was it from and when?
I got one, and I saw it being referenced somewhere else on some post, so I decided to search Nicole and found this community and your message then. Any idea what this means? What's going on haha
I got a message immediately after commenting on a Canada@lemmy.ca post.
