Hello SJW community!

I will be conducting an upgrade to the lemmy software this coming Friday, March 21st at 8:30PM EDT.

During this time we will be upgrading to lemmy version 0.19.9.

Users can expect up to 60 minute of downtime for the upgrade to complete. As always will do my best to do it in less time.

I'll be providing real time updates on our matrix channel throughout the process for those interested or who just want to keep me company.

Thank you all for being part of the fediverse and this instance.

Also remove private messages when banning user with “remove content” (goodbye Nicole) #5414

Is there some history? Who is Nicole?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You haven't gotten one of those?

The Fediverse's first big spam campaign, sending DMs on Mastodon, Lemmy and I think others with messages begining "Hi I'm Nicole, you can call me the Fediverse Chick..."

I forget which instance it's on but you can find a community out there called "Nicoled" for more details. My best guess is it's a pig butchering scam, others have suggested it's a straightforward 419 (especially since it started soliciting crypto) or a harassment campaign against the girl in the photos, or an attempt at account de-anonymization...don't click any links, don't look at any photos, don't interact, don't send it any money, don't drink the water, don't even read this comment. Hey, what did I just say?! You read it, didn't you? Great, now what are we going to do?

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Nope, I did not and even though I am a fairly active lurker, I only read about it after my question here. I guess that makes me lucky.

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's a spammer / scammer who messages a lot of people on the fediverse. Also known as "the fediverse chick". Check !nicole@feddit.org if you want to dive in.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

They use a bunch of instances. Not sure why they're being so obvious about it by using the same username everywhere, must just be someone out for the lulz. I'm not even convinced it's the same person, probably a bunch of people meming around at this point.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

So, you’re saying there’s a chance…

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nooo my fediverse girlfriend 😢

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

I've been stealing all her PMs from y'all.
I usually say it's for spam removal, but really it's because I wanna keep her to myself.
Power tripping girlfriend stealing bâtard.

[–] Draconic_NEO@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Nicole is a well known spammer, they spammed DMs to many people here saying their name was Nicole and to meet them in various social spaces. They made hundreds of alt accounts on many many instances.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Isn't that the "Fediverse chick"?

Thanks for your work! And this update served as a reminder to donate!

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Thanks, Duderino!

(I’m not into the whole brevity thing.)

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

thanks Dude.

Good luck, boss.

Great!

Good to hear, but what have you done for us recently?

Seriously though, your work is appreciated.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The lack of anything to notice is precisely the value TheDude provides. I, for one, support our BDFL.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

try other instance when fiddling on new machine

“where speed”

back to SJW

@TheDude@sh.itjust.works 🫡 seriously incredible I should say it every week WOW

There was like one low-priority intermittent image upload bug for like a couple weeks maybe a year ago… since then like PERFECTION and MASSIVE uptime. Wowwwww Dude seriouslyyyy! :D

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Ummmmm, can we maybe push that back an hour? I plan to be fapping at that time

I'm joking. Well, maybe, but I'm not actually asking the time to be changed ;)

May the dude always abide!

[–] rainrain@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks.
