The super rich have to keep their wealthy pawns in line to condition the masses. They've been banging various forms of this drum since MBS took over.
psyop
Wow, that list of changes is impressive and appreciated. Thank you all so much for the continuing work on the platform.
someone that they are/were friendly with
The problem I have with this theory is how incredibly stupid it would be for someone to do this to a personal acquaintance. If you're sharing media that's instantly recognizable as private 2 party communication, the person being harassed knows exactly who to report. I know stalkers are a thing but are they really that stupid? Or is prosecution of these things so awful that they operate with little fear of the repercussions? I have a really hard time believing this scenario but maybe that's being naive.
The more likely thing to me would be someone that is fairly tech savvy trying to harass or extort someone. Maybe "Nicole" is someone who clicked a phishing link from a stalker. Maybe she's hated by whoever is behind the spam. It could be almost anything. We don't really have a lot to go on other than whoever it is isn't actually the person in the pictures.
We do know that they actively monitor either the talk about the spam or the attempts to stop the messages since the messages have changed in reaction to attempts to stop it. There was also mention of a picture that was posted and removed somewhere after someone else was spotted in the picture. Who's behind it all and why is still unclear but we know it's more than just bot traffic. If it's an ARG they could find a less annoying way to go about it.
Plenty of CEOs in the past. Less talky more Luigi.
They look more like accidental or stolen/malicious pics from a laptop webcam to me. Whoever the person in the pictures is I hope they aren't being harassed or stalked or something.
These days it's hard to say for sure what's spam or some kind of social experiment or even a deranged person using social media to terrorize someone else.
Nice to see another instance join Lemmy and the fediverse. Best of luck.
I just used dried refried bean flakes and reconstituted them
Those damn bean flakes have been sold out for weeks here. I'm fuming.
Refried bean airfried taquitos and salsa
This looks delicious!
Thank you for the continued work.
Congrats, and thank you.
Don't give them ideas. Next week's tournament will be "get 50 Thanks from battle in a row" or some other evil thing.
Looks amazing. Dill on mashed potatoes is a favorite of mine!
Many of them are important quality of life changes given recent/current events. I'm looking forward to the ghosts of the spam accounts disappearing.
