I just got a very disturbing post from Nicole, from Lemmy.world none the less, where Nicole was… Indeed dead and naked.

I will not post the image here.

Very disturbing.

Whoever is doing this, has bad taste and a psychopathic trait.

Edit: the image showed gore and nudity, just to be clear.

    The user who sent this horrific message (Sauza) has since been banned by their host instance Lemmy.World. What I find notable about this account is that it was almost 2 years old, evidently created around the time of the Reddit API migration. The age of this account could imply that the account was created as part of a longterm plan to harm Lemmings, or I think it’s plausible that the account was originally ran by an innocent person and then recently hacked to send these terrible messages. I cannot find any post/comment history which could suggest one way or the other.

      I’ve had some similar weird stuff going on.

      I got two DMs, both immediately after interacting with this community. The first I ignored, this is the second:

      Also from a 2 year old account with no history.

      The first one disappeared, and I don’t recall what it said.

      Edit: 5 minutes later they’ve been banned

        I also got the same DM from that same .ml account, also with the attachment named after my handle.

          The weird thing is, I never got Nicole dms. Was there a list of people?

            No idea if anyone found a pattern, other than only active accounts getting spam (I think?).

              No real pattern was found, but victims of spam often made english-speaking posts. That’s not a very good pattern, though.
