One huge motive behind creating !nicole@feddit.org was to concentrate all the posts about that spam, which, in turn, are also spam, to one place, which can easily be blocked by users that - understandable - don’t want to see that spam. Especially when they don’t get the original nicole spam in the first place, such as me - which is highly ironic, but an interesting phenomenon. I’m pretty active as a commentator, and not inactive as a poster, yet only got exactly one message a few months ago.
