The consensus in the end was that Nicole was a victim of harassment.
They mods dont want you to know.

IIRC this was only a guess. I don’t recall any definitive information on her or her appearance here.

And because of that it don’t feel right to use her picture to make jokes.

I often find shitposts to be way beyond poor taste but apparently its ok if its “just a joke”.

Im struggling to remember the details if im honest.
Initially it was new accounts spamming Nicole photo and links to a matrix channel. However, there was no “Nicole” to talk to, just vague directions to find her at her work.
After a while someone started a community about Nicole posts and there were a few threads kinda collating theories on what was going on.
I forget the details exactly but IIRC someone postulated that is was a creepy stalker trying to prompt people to go find her IRL. On realising that the /c/Nicoled community was fueling creepy wierdo’s game, the mods locked some posts or something.
Thats when shit got real, and the same spam accounts started DMing gore stuff, but no confirmation of whether it was “nicole”.
That was it really. Nothing further.
At the very least, it certainly wasn’t Nicole DMing her own photo to everyone.

There were a lot of weird photos that looked like they were taken from a webcam/stream, in private settings, with extremely specific work address/personal info to tie her in person. There was also no continued communication like there usually is from scammers. Plus the bots spammed from countless instances with the same messages and different pics, like it was dedicated to making sure people would know her irl identity. Not 100% positive, but for a lot of people it felt “off” from the usual scam and spam campaigns. There was a dedicated community of folks who were concerned about this, as well.
Other spammers eventually rode the coattails and tried crypto-scheming with similar strategies but those were more “traditionally” scammy.

If she’s a girl, she’s getting harassed.

Why does she have MS13 tatooed onto her forehead?
finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Because it came off the back of her hand when she wiped sweat from her brow with it.

Is this a “the game” situation where if you actually explain anything you lose? Because none of the comments explain what this is about…

A while ago, people on Lemmy got messages from this woman saying she’s Nicole, 28, from Poland living in Canada and she called herself the fediverse chick. These messages with different pictures of her continued, each from a different account. Towards the end, some people reported getting some dark messages (I didn’t get any of those, so not sure what they were). And then everything stopped.

Nicole, beloved, how we miss you.
The sun does not shine your absense,
nor does the moon glow.
The wind doesn’t tickle the leaves
and the clouds swell in their stagnance—
unable to bless us with the rain.
We are languishing in this hell of stillness desperately awaiting your return.

Obviously the Fediverse banned the future of dating, before I ever got to bang her. Damn fediverse!
