Hi, I'm Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D
For when you or others get nicoled.

MODERATORS
I'm Nicole!
I felt I need to contribute something to the "massive" quest to uncover more about Nicole.
I went through all my messages (from my main account, this one is a burner) and found an interesting name that kept coming up, from a couple of messages that were about 2 months old, "beyorkisan". This was a PeerTube username she included, which does not exist anymore. But I scoured the internet and found another interesting PeerTube instance which is still running and on which she has uploaded a video.
Federated link on hitchtube.fr, if the site is not loading. Also there is no audio
Also, there was another live-stream.
Going through the video and live-stream comments, seems like she had quite a following and from there I deduced a couple of things,
- She was doing some sort of engagement on a chatting website called stumblechat.com.
- She liked Krashboyz Bordel Krew Live Show 24/7
- @lnxtx@feddit.nl comments in this thread might be correct, she might indeed be living in Canada.
- If she is really the one who was doing all that, then she was active on PeerTube, federating on Fediverse and thus making herself a Fediverse Chick (pun intended).
Also there seems to be a twitch account named beyorkisan with her picture. Might be hers.
So seems like the image is from livestreams instead of a hack
Now this is the kind of detective work we all come here for!
We know about this, please delete your comment since it might be a real account.
What's the point of this thread, then
I also got a message today
Could you show the image url?
Hey y'all, I know this theory might be a stretch, but remember that this could be someone using someone's name/face without their permission to harass them or frame them or something. Please just keep that in mind as you dig.
It probably is, it looks like a frame grab from a webcam video.
With what appears to be a bong in shot. I can't imagine someone using such an unflattering photo if they were using their own face.

https://www.fortinos.ca/en/store-locator/details/0055 this seems to be the page for the store listed in the Matrix server description. The Matrix description really makes this seem like someone is doxxing her tbh.
I think is a funny meme and everything but I feel uncomfortable with people sharing her pictures. I doubt the real person on the pictures gave concent to this.
Topic from the Matrix room:
I work at ***, *** ** **, Woodbridge, ON L4L 1A7, Canada. Come say hi sometime!
I work in the *** section, so just ask for Nicole!
Does somebody live nearby?
This is textbook internet harassment if this is a real place someone works, this is not good.
Seems like the "scam" may be a harassment campaign?
She is most likely the victim of a stalker who’s trying to get her harassed and possibly fired
This is creepy as hell.
So update, topic was removed.
I've had three, all identical messages, all from different usernames and accounts. I haven't followed any of the links.
Everyone who got a Nicole message: Please get in touch here, you all might have something in common.
i get them every so often. This morning I had two
I suspect what we have in common is that we all use Lemmy or Mastodon
Of course, but people who aren't active seem to get fewer spam. But they might just don't post it, because they are inactive.
Yeah I only started getting them when I posted/commented
I thought it was because they are reading comments and posts that people share and spamming those people.
Had something similar on reddit a long time ago, got added to a private subreddit because they saw me comment in a community
I've stopped getting them after my first one, and I've got none on the microblogging side of things.
i got a message yesterday, and havent been very active for a few weeks now

Which both don't exist anymore.
Got Nicole'd twice, last time ~a hour ago.
My guess is that the scammer is simply hitting random Fediverse people, with no meaningful pattern besides "some post/comment activity".
Has anyone received any kind of response from Nicole? Or unsolicited contact from anyone, anywhere else after being Nicole'd?
I'm Nicole.
I got nicoled twice.
Just posting here as well to make sure it's documented.
I just got Nicole Classic™ without crypto links. I'm beginning to suspect there are Niclones out there as well
Hello. My name is "unrealized". I have been nicoled. It has been one week since me last nicoleing. A number 36 this time, from lemmy.imagishpe.re. Thank you.
I just got nicole'd today. I am feeling honored, I never won anything before in my life!
