It's with great honor, I inform you all that I've finally been Nicoled. I thought I was left out for a minute there
It's good to see Lemmy's mythos expanding.

Please file Nicole between “Beans” and “Trying not to Poop”
.........you want to digest Nicole?
I got nicoled the other day. Not sure what to do with that.
Wait! This is a thing? I got a message from her a few days ago. I never heard of her before. What’s the story?
It's a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP's and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn't the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.
I don't know the details but I've had to ban her account several times (from a number of different source instances) for sending everyone the exact same unsolicited private message.
I never bothered to figure out of if it's actually malicious or just some nonce trying to drive up engagement. Either way it's a weird quirk of Lemmy right now that she'll eventually DM you...
Seriously, I'm starting to think all these accounts who keep reposting the spammers message as "look it happened to me too" are also part of the spam campaign.
Maybe we should create a dedicated community
!nicole@feddit.org
WHEN WILL SHE COME FOR ME!?!?! WHY MUST I REMAIN ALOOOOONE!!!!!?!?!?!?!
Be patient like I was. Love will always prevail, buddy.
To those of you as admins on Mastodon, adding a very basic CAPCHA stops it auto creating accounts.
I have a local mastodon that we maintain.
Does she ever change her age or has Nicole been 29 this whole time (I assume this has been going on for awhile)? Also, everytime I see the feddie baddie I am now reminded of Nicole337 from youtube. What a time.
hey guys its nicole
Hear it everytime.
When I am trying to sleep.
You're not alone, it's not just Lemmy users pwned, coming in from an MBin user from 4 weeks ago: 
AFAIK he's on http://lonestarlemmy.mooo.com/ while the picture's on http://lemmings.world/
Yeah, there's not that big a difference between Mbin and Lemmy when it comes down to it. Nicole is the Fediverse Chick, after all.
So I guess 'Nicole' is a bot or something? Feeling FOMO
Yup. Someone is trolling the whole feeiverse it looks like.
