A mere imitation
Did anyone ever find out what “Nicole” etc actually wanted ? I just blocked and immediately reported spam, but tbh never actually ask what flavour of scam “she” was up to
Eventually the messages started coming with crypto addresses to help her with her sick dad and college tuition.
Ahh, yeah ok, not too surprising I guess. Thanks
No. No more Nicole spam after they locked the Nicole community. Because someone thought it would be funny to spam photos of a corpse.
As hard as they shut down discussions of “Nicole” I’m surprised simply saying the name doesn’t get your account banned.
I’m surprised shutting down the community stopped the messages. I never thought that would work
sh.itjust.works clamped the spam filter down so hard that there was awhile there where I couldn’t access the nicoled@feddit.org community from my account, I had to go separately. So somebody might still be trying and it’s getting nuked server side.
It was such a weird scam, too.
Oh that’s interesting. But the senders were from a variety of instances
Yeah I think the sh.itjust.works admins blocked it pretty hard from showing up to internal accounts. Other folks from other instances could send, but us sh.itheads couldn’t receive. And they did their brain surgery with a backhoe.
Oh no. She’s hot.
Some person named Lily is going to be very disapointed in the future if they want a username with their name in it. What do you mean they’re all taken?!?
Ours is better.
Isn’t Bluesky spam all the way down?
Not for me tbh. I followed some people and algorithm seems to curate my feed accordingly. It’s mostly cats and climate news.
Yeahh, a lot of posts what end up on the frontpage get at least a few copy paste comments
I honestly expected bsky would be better with spam protection than twitter, but hey, at least its not dicks and uncensored porn as it was on twitter
There’s some good stuff but you gotta block like 1000 profiles to have a decent feed
The opposite works better. Follow the accounts you actually like and just use the following tab.
Tried that, a little too repetitive for my taste
I’ve got about 600 followers. I think about 525 of them are just bots.
Pretty poorly executed bots too if you ask me. Every one has a profile pic of a cute girl, always exactly two posts, and they’re following somewhere between 1.5k and 15k accounts.
…now that’s a name i’ve not heard in - two months…
Oh that’s a battalilyon
