I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
Ugh I know. Do I look like I’m after something like that? Stupid bots.
Wow so many people got it.
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”
Lol, I got mine yesterday. I’d always felt sooooo left out.
Its started hitting the microblogging side of the fediverse.
Why haven’t I gotten one? Where are you all posting?
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?
I’ve still somehow never gotten one, despite being on here for a while. (I hope this doesn’t jinx it lol)
Hi, I’m Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D
I’m a proud Polish girl from Toronto (29 y/o)
I’m currently taking the pre-health sciences program at Toronto Metropolitan University hoping to get into the medical field someday!
Got one too. What’s funny is this is not even a good photo.
It’s like the misspellings in the phishing emails: it ensures only people who will fall for the trick will respond. If some model messaged you out of the blue, you’re more likely to be suspicious or you feel that you’re super attractive and a model might actually reach out to you. Either way you’re more likely to not bite on the bait.
I’m not even talking about the beauty of the woman in the photo, I just mean it’s a blurry, poorly-lit photo that’s taken at a bad angle.
That’s kinda rude. Presumably they stole the profile picture from some uninvolved person.
I’m not saying she’s ugly or anything this is just a blurry, poorly-lit, poorly-angled photo with no character to it.
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’m afraid they’re doing this to harass whoever’s that girl in the picture
I want to do a deeper investigation to find who is behind it
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.
Would it be wrong to send it dick pics?
Morally? No. From the perspective of nothing on the internet is ever deleted? Yes. People who get duped into sending nudes will often find (I mean, IF they ever find, realistically, seeing how big the internet it) their picture being used by someone else for another duping operation.
Yes. Unsolicited dick pics are sexual harassment, regardless of who you’re actually sending them to. Also, I wouldn’t put it past people running scams like this to try and use your dick pics for blackmail.
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.
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 really do like the project!
Same! Honestly one of my favourite fediverse softwares.
Dibs!
