Please someone create. I know it's run its course, but it would be great to let some folks create Nicole memes to preserve it for future generations to enjoy. Just like Dat Boi.
I got a message from her yesterday and I had never talked about her before so I don't think you can summon her that way. I can forward you the message if that'll make you feel better. I'll be your Nicole.
But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it's the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.
To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that'd be great. I've been getting 2-3 a week.
Dude, for real. We get it. You got a spammy DM from a "girl". Do we really need two or three different communities dedicated to everyone posting the same fucking screenshot over and over?!
("She" hasn't DM'd me yet, but I can assure you that if she ever does, I will not be posting a screenshot of it anywhere. It will be summarily buhleeted and that will be the end of that.)
I genuinely have no idea what a rare Nicole even is because they're all the exact same fucking thing. Oh look, here's what her message looks like in Boost. Hey, here's what her message looks like in Voyager. Hey have you seen what her message looks like in whatever that one that's supposed to look like Old Reddit because fuck u/spez but we can still pine for the good old days?
But hey, sure. You know what? If I get a "rare Nicole" - and my assumption here is, like, she comes out as a furry, or sends indisputable proof of the true identity of DB Cooper, then yeah. Sure. I'll post it.
Well that didn't take long. "She" must be watching this thread. Got two in the last hour. Exactly like all the others I've seen, though I didn't analyze all the ridiculous filter-avoiding spaces. Maybe "unique" from that angle, but certainly not "rare." Blocked the users, reported the spam, and just as soon as Lemmy supports deleting PMs I'll do that too.
I wonder how they bother to change the photo with a very similar but almost identical one but always copy-paste the same text, isn't the opposite way easier?
The only logical approach here is to ban use the use of "Nicole" or "fediverse chick" across all instances and warn or ban anyone who upvotes posts that mention or vaguely allude to "her".
