I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.
Blocking doesn't work sadly

Instance based skill issue, apparently.
I reported this bot twice.

I've gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.
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.
I am legit curious about that discord server and who is in it
Other bots
The chat room with a /hell sounds nice.
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.
CAN YOU PLEASE SEND VEGINE PIC
Here you go! :
Went with a traditional wooly look, eh?
We prefer to think of it as 'nicely trim', tyvm!
It's so grey! I mean whatever you're into, no shame here.
It's so hot, imgur is at capacity and only returns json
Woah, too hot, I was at work! You should put nsfw in the comment, please...
I was expecting an a magic lamp with a broccoli-shaped genie or something.

There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)
That must be why missy29 now goes by nicole.
Someone who truly just wants to make new friends! Nooooo

It stopped for me after 2, then the last 2 days I got 4 more
"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!"
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.

I could swear the photos were different for me, but yes I also got the "friend request"
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
