I’ve seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn’t let up.
I feel so honored. Got one of these today.
There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo
“Why doesn’t anyone wanna be my friend? I’ve asked everyone… Asked them multiple times!”
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
I am legit curious about that discord server and who is in it
Other bots
The chat room with a /hell sounds nice.
It stopped for me after 2, then the last 2 days I got 4 more
I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the “friend request”
Yeah I wish this bot would fuck off for good.
What’s the purpose of such a message?
Almost all of these turn into attempts to get the target to buy into some crypto scam or other.
It’s not meant to catch people who are moderately aware, it’s meant to catch the stupid, ignorant, and easy to manipulate. Being an obvious scam is part of the utility - it saves time by naturally filtering out anyone who is too aware to actually give them any money.
Ah. Gotcha. It’s super annoying. I wish there was a way to block messages based on keywords, but this isn’t really the purpose of Lemmy. I guess, neither is scamming people, but here we are.
“Listen. And understand. Nicole is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are phished!”
Get ready to be “pig butchered”.
Pig butchered? I’m already halfway there!
Catphished?
Is it a phishing attempt? I figured it was drive-by malware or camgirl spam or something
I don’t actually know, but I had to finish the quote with something snappy.
Creative liberties?? On my communist Linux forum??? Completely understandable, have a nice day
Last time this account made it’s rounds, someone found a pic they’d posted of a buttplug with an old, bald white man clearly reflecting back off of the shiny parts. The account immediately deleted the photo after that user pointed it out.
That doesn’t answer what their intentions are but they’re obviously not good.
Is it weird that I feel less threatened by an old white man who owns a butt plug than one who doesn’t?
I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
I’ve blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.
Or Spam detection. A standard Bayesian filter would catch these with reports.
CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC
Here you go! :
Bobs and vageen?
Went with a traditional wooly look, eh?
We prefer to think of it as ‘nicely trim’, tyvm!
Woah, too hot, I was at work! You should put nsfw in the comment, please…
It’s so grey! I mean whatever you’re into, no shame here.
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.
It’s so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
Theres an instance for that stuff actually, lemmynsfw dot com. It is, in fact, not safe for work. Unless you work in the porn industry. Or perhaps as an artist of some sort.
Blocking doesn’t work sadly
5 msgs per day
I reported this bot twice.
You’d doubt the Fediverse Chick‽
Assuming all of you are 35-55 year old obese guys with beards living in your parents’ basement kept me safe as a teen and I’m sticking with it now too.
I wish I could grow a beard
On the internet, nobody knows your a baby face.
Doubt
I don’t know if it’s because I use old.lemmy or what but I have no idea wtf this meme is about.
Its just a spambot, not everyone has gotten the message.
I still don’t see any settings to block PMs on the mbin side. I would at least like to filter to people I follow or something with the option to fully disable PMs.
FFS got another one after posting this.
I blocked the whole instance the account is on, but tbh I don’t know what good that does.
Unfortunately, nothing. Always comes from different instances for me. Whack-a-mole
