Hot rules in your area

I got this one too. Just delete it bro I'm already dating her.

Even bots don't DM me :(

Send me a message and I'll copy/paste. I just got it a few hours ago.
I still have mine, I can reply that you are interested?
I got my first one last night, don't worry you'll get yours too!
- I tagged you like a week ago and I've already forgotten why.
Same, can they see my unattractive-ness through the internet?!

I'm not gonna call her that

It wouldn't be practical, there are lots of chicks in the Fediverse.

Why did you censor Nicole's name? o.0

Bruh
You can't say shit like that. At least censor it, Jesu
- Oh fuck, did I just write the N word?
THOW WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED!!

If we start receiving spam like this, the fediverse is gaining momentum! I guess somehow this is good news.

At least "she" is 29.

Not that I support porn bots, but I keep getting messaged by spammers pretending to be teenagers and it's turning my stomach.

Before this I didn't even know we had functioning DMs! Just never considered it.

A few days before I got this I got one asking if I wanted in on some stocks or some shit, blocked, then I got this in duplicate, blocked, and now I've gotten this same one every day for like 3 days, each time it's two of em. I block, the chick makes more. The chick is relentless, infinite, and eternal. We must choose now whether to destroy the chick or to worship her, there are no other options.

Where are all the male porn bots

I got it too twice(I think she's having issues with fedi and remade her accounts or something) and was going to ask if anyone else did X3

I think she’s having issues with fedi and remade her accounts or something

If by "having issues" you mean "got banned for spamming", then I agree with you.
- I read somewhere (but have no verification of this fact to offer) that the person in the picture isn't even the one doing this and it's a weird stalker / revenge situation going on here.
I got her thrice, with two different pictures. Don't know how rare is the second picture.
- Oh shit you got the second picture?
  
  Is it two eyebrows or one?
  
  I have a double eyebrow for trade.

I just got the bot message last night and immediately blocked the user. Not dealing with this bullshit here.

Report them too, so the resp. instance can deal with the account and connected accounts.

I'm not alone :(

3 messages from 3 different accounts so far.

What's going on?

she's just very lonely, poor girl
- Living in a lovely world?

Porn bots are a sign that business is catching onto the fediverse. Let's pray they're kind to us.

yeah i got 8 of them in the last 2 days ...

I only got 2. She must have found out I'm ugly 😢
- I only got 1. She must have found out anything at all about me.

Hot areas in your nail
waiting to get shingled

I've received a bunch of these.

Low effort spam :(

Is there something that can be done across Lemmy to prevent mass spammers? Surprised nobody used this before. Got messaged twice so far.

One defense could be for an instance admin to set a maximum number of messages someone can send to different accounts on their instance per hour.

This would be a heuristic approach to combat spam but this function would first have to be implemented by the Lemmy developers.
- honestly it always astounds me that developers don't pre-emptively add ratelimiting, it's such a basic thing to prevent misuse
i guess it's a case of each instance admin whacking these moles as they pop up. also having anti bot signup defenses.

I'm guessing there's also stuff that could be done server side to stop single accounts sending the same message to > 100 people or something like that. not sure if that's already implemented though.
- That seems like a lot of work that admins would have trouble keeping up with.
  
  Theoretically couldn't they keep setting up their own new instance on a daily basis?

i didnt know it was a spam message so i just marked it as read and ignored it, next time i will block.

Honestly this is pretty tame for a spam message.

Somebody who doesn’t call it Ryerson

To be fair, it fits the narrative. If I was some Polish student arriving in Canada to go to TMU, I probably would have no idea it used to be called Ryerson.

TBH I had no idea Ryerson changed their name until these messages started coming in, lol.
- Fair, it’s just interesting to see

Holds up spork

Never got any of those kinda messages yet, fortunately
(Edit: Now I got the Nicole message... I blocked and reported her account)

Is it kind of weird that I wasn't excited to read my inbox because there's like a 60% chance some Tankie I pissed off sent me a manifesto explaining why he thinks the 1930s and later russian economy was actually good?

Like, I check it out of courtesy, but I don't get my hopes up for replies and DMs.

So far the majority of replies I receive on Lemmy are either a really thoughtful answer to something I asked or a Thank You for a recommendation I've given so I do look forward to them when I open Lemmy and see the little icon
- Clearly you're not doing your part to piss off Tankies.
