What happened?

Due to the recent developments, I have decided to make this community moderator-only. There has been a mass spam attack involving gore and nudity. This is now a very serious situation and it is clear that something has to be done to stop this from happening. The new messages might be from a different, psychopathic spammer.

What we decided to do about it

To have better control of this situation, we decided to lock down the community, except for the comment section on this very post. (Please let me know if I've missed a post)

Rules

  • Please refrain to further spread the newest spam image, especially uncensored versions of it.
  • The "It's my girlfriend!"-joke is long gone. Be respectful, stop using it.

Going forward

Our main goal now is to stop the spread of spam on Lemmy. This seems like a major problem in Lemmy's concept, so we need to work together to create a working solution to the spam and potential defacing of users.

Update: The source of the gore images has been identified, so it's safe to say it's not actually the same person as "Nicole". Still fucked up, though.

I just received a DM from a new account following the same pattern as the gore spam, 2+ year old account and the image link named after my username. This time it was a red anime picture saying "Do you like insanity?". Same person as the second actor?

I just got the same shit. And I'm guessing the previous two DMs were also the same. I didn't realize that the links were to something other than my profile.

It looks like they're now posting the 1st gore image directly to communities everywhere.

Got that dm as well. They are posting the dead nicole image. I reverse image searched it and it's from a gore website.

It's description is

Murdered woman on autopsy table CHINA Leaked footage from a Chinese morgue shows a woman who died after being attacked with a machete. The attacker stabbed her neck several times and almost cut off her ear. Other details are unknown.

Caution, full link has a dead body

I looked it up, and the other pictures on that site show the woman's face in it's entirety up close. It definitely isn't Nicole.

Same account that just messaged me.
