This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!

@shadow@lemmy.ca

potential bot account. Probably best to check?

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

Already taken care of :)

Got this exact same one. I just got "hello" but when I tried to just delete the message, I get this error saying I can't edit the message (pic below). Using lemmy.world. Maybe it's a bug or something? I'll have to check the settings because Id rather just never recieve dms ever. At the very least, be able to just delete them.

First DM I ever got on lemmy.

[–] JPSound@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

does anyone else get this?

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

This is not Lemmy any more, this is AmberRose. Rebranded from SkyNet 1-2-25, get with the times, meatsacks

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

I got messages from this one too... Kept trying to get me to switch to zangi to talk to it

[–] Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

...among us??

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 3 points 4 months ago

Imposter???

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is it a bad translation? I meant to say they are here on Lemmy, maybe it doesn't translate well

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It just jokingly referring to the game Among Us.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Ok lol. Wasnt sure if it could be a poor translation
