I call dibs on her

This annoys the fuck out of me and I hope whoever is behind it doesn't realize their goals, because I don't want lemmy to degrade into a bunch of spam PMs.

Who is Nicole and why should I care?

I question if it is even harassment since there was no contact info beyond the sender in the messages I got with this pic. There was no identifying info, etc. It seemed like someone just sent me a random photo and it was very bizarre.

I've been thinking this since it started and saying it for a bit. I don't understand at all how there were memes of this on the front page all the time and it took this long to do even this. Has there been any attempt at an effort to notify whoever is in the picture that this is happening? I would like to help if possible.

The community should also be burned to the ground. If it still exists.

I can't believe I managed to never get one of these spam messages. I didn't even know what a Nicole was until the week or two ago.

Glad to see there's effort being taken to stop this, as someone who's been harassed in a similar way on here it really kind of bugs me that people are making light of this or assume that the original person is the one doing this. Impersonation is frighteningly easy on the Fediverse and I really wish they'd add some kind of verification in Lemmy like they do in Mastodon to try and minimize the impact of it.

WTF is a Nicole image
