Nicole, beloved, how we miss you.
The sun does not shine your absense,
nor does the moon glow.
The wind doesn't tickle the leaves
and the clouds swell in their stagnance—
unable to bless us with the rain.
We languish in this hell of stillness
desperately awaiting your return.
Obviously the Fediverse banned the future of dating, before I ever got to bang her. Damn fediverse!
The consensus in the end was that Nicole was a victim of harassment.
IIRC this was only a guess. I don’t recall any definitive information on her or her appearance here, but Lemmy banned her images based on that suspicion.
I just wrote up the story here:
Fair, yet you do point out that it was only a suspicion and we had no real info.
Nonetheless, I’m glad the ‘verse and mods put a stop to the images. If it wasn’t a just a nuisance it was potentially bad.
No positive irrefutable evidence, but the most credible explanation.
And because of that it don't feel right to use her picture to make jokes.
I often find shitposts to be way beyond poor taste but apparently its ok if its "just a joke".
how do we know this?
Im struggling to remember the details if im honest.
Initially it was new accounts spamming Nicole photo and links to a matrix channel. However, there was no "Nicole" to talk to, just vague directions to find her at her work.
After a while someone started a community about Nicole posts and there were a few threads kinda collating theories on what was going on.
I forget the details exactly but IIRC someone postulated that is was a creepy stalker trying to prompt people to go find her IRL. On realising that the /c/Nicoled community was fueling creepy wierdo's game, the mods locked some posts or something.
Thats when shit got real, and the same spam accounts started DMing gore stuff, but no confirmation of whether it was "nicole".
That was it really. Nothing further.
At the very least, it certainly wasn't Nicole DMing her own photo to everyone.
I stumbled onto her real name and can say that she's alive and the gore pictures were fake (I was bored and a bit drunk)
Yeah, at the time no one really thought those pictures were her, but it strengthens the harassment narrative. Whoever was doing it was a fkn creep.
yeah id say it was unlikely the fediverse chick was reaching out to people in earnest. someone messing w her by sending those messages then directing people toward her irl makes way more sense to me than taking that at face value
There were a lot of weird photos that looked like they were taken from a webcam/stream, in private settings, with extremely specific work address/personal info to tie her in person. There was also no continued communication like there usually is from scammers. Plus the bots spammed from countless instances with the same messages and different pics, like it was dedicated to making sure people would know her irl identity. Not 100% positive, but for a lot of people it felt “off” from the usual scam and spam campaigns. There was a dedicated community of folks who were concerned about this, as well.
Other spammers eventually rode the coattails and tried crypto-scheming with similar strategies but those were more “traditionally” scammy.
we don't. it just smells wrong.

Is it that fediverse chick that was sending me messages?
Its not safe here.
Robot death squad has been dispatched. As soon as the Indian teleoperators finish their lunch break, you're toast!
don't mind them.
they're just doing the needful.
Begging the favour of your esteemed demise.
DM’s from the future.
Count your days.
This better not be-
Arceus fucking damn it!
oh god not nicole
The Fediverse Chick if you're nasty
Nicole my destiny
she's still out there bro. maybe spam dm every single lemmy user to see if you can reach her
Babe, new cryptid just dropped
Does she have an SCP entry yet?
Is this a "the game" situation where if you actually explain anything you lose? Because none of the comments explain what this is about..
Many moons ago, when all this were trees, this lass spammed our inboxes.
I do not fear your puny robots.
Ah, well that clears that right up.
A while ago, people on Lemmy got messages from this woman saying she's Nicole, 28, from Poland living in Canada and she called herself the fediverse chick. These messages with different pictures of her continued, each from a different account. Towards the end, some people reported getting some dark messages (I didn't get any of those, so not sure what they were). And then everything stopped.
P.S. this is just from my memory, and it can be pretty shit sometimes.
"the game"
Yay, thanks. Now I lost another round.
No, everyone just knows. Of you don't, you haven't been here long enough to join the club.
Edit: apparently I'm not in the club either....
Nicole Witchhunt they said
Still no info about whether the body in the bag was her?
Well fuck. I received 4 across my different accounts. But never the gore stuff. Now I wanna know the details of the ordeal.
Um......what?
what?
THEY SAID: “STILL NO INFO ABOUT WHETHER THE BODY IN THE BAG WAS HER?”!
WHAT?!
I don't know the full story and I never received any of the messages, but apparently the last few got really dark.

I hear FidoNet whispering in modem noises.
Sometimes Usenet sends me messages and there isn’t even any warez attached
