Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?

Edit: Thanks to @example@reddthat.com here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.

Wuuut ? Everything mentioning nicole or just posts from "her" accounts ?

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only photos and written info that could identify her. The spam accounts probably get banned as they reported. I don’t know of any posts made by any account claiming to be her?

Tnx for the info , i meant the repost bots by "her"

Repost bots? Do you have an example, either by way of link or screenshot?

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, not rly , i just hear about it from other people getting messages/seeing posts but i never recieved any

The spam DMs are real, but I think the “reposts” are scuttlebutt based on people not understanding the screenshots of the DMs that they’ve seen in their feed
