Transcription: picture is a screenshot of a user inbox page with a new message containing a photo of a woman with dark hair. The message reads "Hi I am Nicole but you can call me the Fediverse chick". There's more text but this is very obviously a bot attempting to get people to join a particular server.

On a side note: I can't delete this message as I get an error about dms not being available. I've blocked the bot already. Does programming.dev support dm's?

Why does this use the most stupid photo they could find?

As a Real Woman™ I would never send a blurry candid to introduce my face. The poor lady who got her picture stolen (maybe this is a video screenshot?) probably has nicer shots of herself. Ironically the spammer trying to seem "authentic" with this picture just makes her feel faker. I imagine most people want to put our best foot forward and make a good impression, hence a nice picture.
