  Reports of Nicole’s death have been greatly exaggerated.

  I got one this morning!! Immediately clocked it as a scam lol. I didn’t delete it but it disappeared from my inbox so I guess the account was closed

  I feel like of all places to try and scam people lemmy is… Not a good choice? From what I’ve seen (and I haven’t been around too long tbf) the community gravitates towards more tech-savvy and educated people, so unlikely to fall for scams like these. They’d have better luck on Facebook probably, just attach an AI-generated Jesus and they’d make mad cash lmao

    There’s an argument to be had that it is a little harder to censor on Lemmy, and also I expect that it does not e.g. scan all PMs by default to detect >!!<spam as some big techs might.

    So, if tech savvy people are harder to fool (but it’s definitely not impossible, see Cory Doctorow’s recent post) but the cost of spamming is a little lower… maybe it still works.
