Hi, I’m The Fediverse Chick, and I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty!
Hi! I’m the Fediverse Chick, I’ve been trying to reach you about a Nigerian prince heritage.
The real joke for me is lemmy being so starved of content a meme is cast of the first big spam message and people are irritatedly commenting that they haven’t gotten it yet
I finally got hit today, was feeling left out of the fun.
I’ve been hit so many times I should have a purple heart. This screenshot is akin to a NK general showing off his stripes.
I’ve got that same collection and I’m actually excitedly waiting for the red blouse message.
Can someone explain?
I can’t explain, no, because I don’t understand the motivation behind it.
But someone (likely a bot) has been spamming messages, allegedly from the person depicted, as “the Fediverse chick.” I got my first one this morning. It arrived within sixty seconds of me making a post, so I have to guess it’s targeting more active users. If you’re a frequent commenter, you’ll probably get one eventually, too.
I’ll piggy back off your test
Edit: it took 7 hours but I finally got my DM! Woohoo!
What did I miss?
A bot that messages you, for like fake hookups and stuff. I got another one this morning. It says She’s polish studying in Toronto:D I forgot her name though.
there’s spam bots trying to get people to be like “oh a sexy jewish nerd from poland is into me? lemme yeah send her some money”
I don’t find her sexy (I’m straight) and it seems like a guess at best that she’s Jewish.
