Got spam today from someone trying to tap this new market and create a following.

Please don't encourage them. If it catches on it will be terrible. Don't let them destroy this for us.

From "Nicole?"

This is someone that keeps creating new alts and spamming everyone with PMs. Someone noticed on a previous iteration where they posted a separate photo (of a buttplug) that the reflection in the photo was of an old, bald white guy. After being called out they immediately deleted the photo.

I don't think it's an influencer. I think it's just a plain old scammer.

Yeah, "Fediverse Girl". Most lazy alias ever.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 12 points 22 hours ago

Report the accounts to the instance admins so they ban that asshole.

[-] sixty@sh.itjust.works 15 points 22 hours ago

I'm left out of the Nicole club 😔

I got that a few weeks ago. Such a weird spam.

[-] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, I got that one too. I just immediately blocked the account and gave it no thought.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

This is the way. My block list is very long since i block anything like that. Also bigots. So many bigots.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 22 points 21 hours ago

We already have our local celebrities, anyway. And what good does it do them? Beans.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 15 points 21 hours ago

What ever happened to the guy who desperately needed to not shit for days?

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago

That guy is full of it.

As long as no Fed instance attempts to monetize content, these people will have no power. So subscribe to them, engage to them all you want, but absolutely shun any Fed instance that does anything but accept donations to keep the lights on. Money will always enshittify platforms and their content. Always.

Edit: FYI, any real people who want to discuss things with me, don't let your post sound like it came from a rage engagement bot.

Please enlighten us on why everyone should give you everything for free?

Honestly aren't we mostly in this mess because no-one will pay for a subscription so we're stuck with shitty advertising as the only way to keep the lights on for most platforms?

[-] Sho@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I agree, they have everywhere else it go online to push their BS.

[-] Xenobiotic@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

I'll encourage them to get a job

“But doing nothing and getting paid for it is my job!“

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Ugh it's like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he's a fragile little sad boy.

Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.

[-] erin 1 points 10 hours ago

This doesn't pass the smell test, as someone that has followed the Greens for years. If you thought his actions were "tone policing" then I'm immediately questioning your actions, since all I've seen is a standup guy and educator. I'm happy to be corrected with a link, but I'm not seeing what you're talking about.

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 9 points 23 hours ago

I'm familiar with Hank Green, but I don't actually follow him or have a bluesky account. Can you provide a link to an example or an explanation of what you mean?

[-] shaggyb@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Sorry, I have stuff to do today. You're just as capable of looking him up.

[-] Zomg@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, except what you consider as tone policing and someone else is completely different. This smells like you don't want to stand up to your claim.

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 12 points 22 hours ago

I didn't mention it in my original comment, but I did actually do a search, and the only thing I found was him talking about how bluesky is better because it doesn't do suppression of external links. Bluesky itself does not load with my current settings so I can't scroll through his posts, but his recent YouTube videos seem pretty normal/benign from just the titles. Seems weird to unnecessarily attack Hank Green, but I am gonna guess that's what they're doing because I cannot find example or article him being problematic.

[-] astrsk@fedia.io 8 points 22 hours ago

Well aren’t you insufferable.

[-] datavoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago

fragile little sad boy

...Isn't he being treated for cancer?

[-] dontbelasagne@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

He was and he's now cancer free.

[-] jatone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

oi, hitting the critical mass of enough users to be interesting, but thankfully not at enough users where it is profitable for them yet. sigh

[-] SnowMeowXP@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I just blocked “her”, whoever that spammer claims to be.
