Can we get rid of the Fediverse Chick already? This is starting to get on my nerves 😅 

#Spam #FediverseChick #SpamWave #MastoAdmin

Got the message + reports from about a dozen different servers already. Always the same message, always that frustrating "Hi, I'm Nicole! But you can call me the Fediverse Chick :D"

If there wasn't that damn smiley at the end, it would be more annoying. At least we have the ":D"

#FediverseChick

@rolle It's so weird. I don't even understand what they are trying to achieve. Plus, I also feel sad for the woman in the pictures. I'm fairly sure she didn't consent to this.

@OddDev @rolle

I haven't recieved any of the spam myself but based on some data I have from my instance, I strongly suspect somebody on the Fediverse is involved, most likely as the victim.

Just thought to add that it appears they may have had their account suspended, so there is evidently something which has been going on

@rolle Isn't tha a bra size? Asking for a friend 🤔😁
@rolle That's the one downside to a decentralized network. Because yes, I agree with you. But all I can do is suspend her from my instance and well... she ain't been here yet.
@quanin There are spam accounts on every social media platform regardless of the protocol.
@rolle I mean, true. But she'd have to be a little more creative if she were doing this on X. How much you wanna bet all hers use the same email address?
@paul @rolle does mastodon ui support regexp?

@paul @rolle

Well block the entire domains because we do not need spam here. btw I haven't seen Nicole spamming dms

Lily (a moderator @ tootworld.social)

@paul @rolle

The account is DMing from Unipar.online as well

@paul @rolle Just got a spam from @[email protected] so clearly this instance isn't really cleaning up their act

@mstdn

@jerome

These two just went active a few minutes ago. I have been monitoring Nicole.

I remember last year, or so, @christian created a python script ( https://github.com/perryflynn/fediscripts ) to deal with some spam that detected images (hashed from @chris spam gist) that were being used for Mastodon spamming.

Has anyone tried to come up with anything that detects "fediverse chick" in the profile with a combination of Nicole for a username?

My small instance of Nicole, the Fediverse Chick, DM spam is growing

I blocked Nicole twice but nothing happens I just started my moderation hour with a spam that is not worth looking at because we all know how to block the account. Even I filtered all the DMs from unknown users

Just block all of those accounts or just suspend the accounts 😒

@lilythelonelygirl @paul @rolle I just blocked chinanews.social entirely

@fuomag9 @paul @rolle

well you did a small amount of the work...

@lilythelonelygirl @paul @rolle Luckily I don't have signups and only that domain seems to have contacted me. (famous last words...)

@fuomag9 @paul @rolle

so you mean your the owner of kiwi.fuo.fi

@lilythelonelygirl @paul @rolle yep I'm the admin
@fuomag9 Also, I am the moderator of this server. I have seen those spambots a lot

@rolle Bei uns kostet ein Account 1 Euro im Monat – und genau deshalb bleiben wir weitgehend spamfrei. Keine Bots, keine Fake-Accounts, dafür eine echte Community.
