At this point, it’s become a bit meme on Reddit to share the creepy or disgusting DMs you receive. However, nothing like that has happened to me here yet, even though I’ve been active for the equivalent of three or four of those pervy chat invitations on Reddit. I’m no less active here.

    I actually dug into her (I was bored) and ended up finding her. The photo was really old but she seems to be doing well. Idk what the point of the message spam was though or why they'd use her picture

    I'm 51% sure it was spam/malware. I feel like I recall reading something that said something along the lines of they were sending messages out so that when the picture loaded they'd get location/ip data of the users who opened the message

    I got messages from that account, but none of them were creepy, disgusting, or pervy. They seemed like a social experiment or some such.

    I didn't reply though. Maybe people who interacted with the account got something more explicit.

    That was some fucked up snuff ending. I often think about that time in lemmy history, really try not to bring her up and refer to her as "she who must not be named".

    I remember "her" but I don't recall the ending. To me it just kinda went away with a blip.

    Not gonna say much besides it was grim. Then lemmy instances joined together and banned the user, whoever it was and started blocking the image. Soon after there seemed to be a general consensus across the board to stop talking about her/them. To stop feeding whatever they were doing. And the fediverse moved on.

    Be the change you want to see in the world!

    The reason is that only girls are allowed to horny post on Lemmy. And everyone else is confined to https://fedinsfw.app/.

    It's been known to happen. Tho all the cases I have seen of it were mods or admins of questionable instances/comms sending the creepy DMs and those getting posted to the various mod abuse communities.

    Even if we did, we shouldn't feed the narcissist.

    This is not reddit. No one wants it to be either. You should let that go and stop trying to make this place like reddit.

    I had never ever gotten a DM on Reddit, but I also only had like 800 total karma across all accounts.

    Amusing that the comments are like "but don't you know about that one person?"

    less people here. more people on reddit, especially the medical subs, which had a problem with perverts/minors.
