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.
I'm kinda active
