Thanks for the heads up! I never PM anyone on social media platforms unless I’ve met them in real life and they expressed actual openness to talking to me.
I’ve been getting a different one for awhile trying to rope me into a crypto scam
I didn’t get one 😔
I can catfish you if you want
Me next.
okay lol i feel less bad for reporting this user now that i know it was widespread
I got like 8 of those :-/
damn how did they think that was gonna look legit 🤣
I got the same lol
Me too.
I thought maybe it vas a weird quirk of friendica, but yeah this seems more focused
I got it too. Looks like maybe they were banned because it disappeared from my inbox
Maybe those who got spammed have something in common? There’s no complete list of users on Fediverse, but it could’ve targeted a list of users it have seen somewhere, or like community admins, or whatever. I haven’t been spammed although I have a fairly active acc.
I got one from her/it yesterday evening. Also a few days before that I got a creepy DM from some rightwinger trying to convince me that there not a fascist Nazi presence and that “people don’t even know what those things are as they haven’t lived through them”.
Never got a DM before that. My guess is lemmy is big enough or rather left enough for federal intervention and psyops are starting if they haven’t already.
Got 4 copies of it, I don’t even know how to send a message to “all” here, didn’t think it was possible.
The API is pretty open. you can write a script that sends individual messages to however many people you like
Yeah this was the first thing that i saw in the morning and it was so surreal. I literally woke up, grabbed my smartphone, went to lemmy inbox, and saw this message three times in a row. Clicked through all of them, then fell back to sleep, only to wake up an hour ago and now i see this meme. I guess i wasn’t dreaming this up after all.
post shoe on head with todays’ newspaper
What’s June got to do with it?
Ayyy we’re…winning?
Yay I feel loved, just got my one of these!
I got it to. Did they send it to everyone? And exactly how would you do that?
I got it too!
Same
I really wish we could disable PMs from anyone but admins or mods of comms we subscribe to, like you can on reddit. There will never be a day when I want to receive a PM from anyone on Lemmy. It’s nothing personal, there’s lots of cool people here, but I’m not interested in pen pals.

Ooh! You sound sexy and I definitely want to be your pen pal! I’ve sent you a DM!
Also, I have a great business opportunity for you if you’re interested! Have you ever heard of NFTs?
NFTs went away for a while because of crime and scams, but they fixed all those problems I swear. NFTs are the sexiest investment a sexy person could make, and they’re even better now that the leaders are implementing AI! It’s going to be revolutionary! It’s like E = Mc2, but now it’s E = Mc2 + AI. It’s the bees knees! It’ll make Stephen Hawking blush! I’ll help broker it for you, and if you send me 1 NFT, I will send you 2 back just because I like you.
Can’t wait for your reply!! ❤️
like E = Mc2, but now it’s E = Mc2 + AI
Aaaaaaaa. Thanks, I hate it. You successfully trolled me.
Thanks for posting this dude, this is exactly what I was referencing in my comment lol. Just a funny llinked in lunatic”
:(
I also would have accepted E = McHammer
The McHammer is my favourite Happy Meal choice
Just pm’d you asking for more deets.
If we were on Reddit, OP’s inbox would get flooded with messages, but Lemmy isn’t active enough for that…
I also just got it.
