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.

hate campaign

You're blameless and think other people take Lemmy too seriously?

Apparently others thought it was the posters fault too and realized that he was bad enough to cause defederation: https://sh.itjust.works/post/35952149

As per that thread: "The targeted accounts are all outspoken users with very similar political opinions. I assume whoever is running the downvote accounts doesn’t like their politics."

I'm sure the poster is probably already back under an alt. Probably started another account 4 or 5 days ago. Guess he better cut back on the Nicole spam and downvote bots this time though. :)

Well this got real accusatory too quick for my blood. Good luck with your hate campaign or whatever.

I have no hate campaign, as I have no hate towards anyone. I didn't start the investigations into spambots or defed issues.

But I def hope they find the loser Nicole spammer guy. Incels like that need to be banned and dealt with accordingly because it's unhealthy for awesome places like Lemmy.

I only posted conservative articles to conservative communities though, so he had no reason to be so weird about it.

He was obsessive and stalked me, and used a freakin' bot army to follow me and downvote me. That's too far, and it's weird behavior. He probably also did it to other people he didn't like. That fits with the M.O. of the original Nicole spammer: a loser who can't accept rejection.

This thread isn't about me. It's about Nicole spam. I gave my feedback and theories about who it might be and why I thought that. That's it.
