Title: Too many nicoleposters on lemmy.

Seriously. I keep getting reports (admin) of her DMs but i never see anything actually harmful on her messages. A matrix room [full of racists :/] A discord room, basically full of shitposters. And both of these have an admin, just completely inactive. I will try to DM her directly, and visit the other links.

Who is the woman in the picture? Certainly not "nicole" that we know. Might it be a harassment campaign against her?

I've noticed a huge wave of spam, with a lot of motifs in applications too. Is this all related? Is this a huge conspiracy or am i looknig too deep in nicole???

I got my first cluster of DMs today. I notice that those with images are served from some random host. This could be the attack, just getting people to hit that server, tracking certain behaviors of thousands of users. Sure would be nice if Lemmy DMs didn't force my browser to hit any URL an attacker wants just by looking at my inbox.

That's an idea, I didn't think of the image hosting as an information gathering vector

These are definitely disused instances. Maybe somebody should figure out how to restrict federation on open signup instances if certain criteria isn't met.

Lemmy.ca has started blocking the DMs, i think her days on .ca are over.

I notice the DMs have even been purged from my inbox, which is a bold move.
