It's not nearly as good as the 0G. This one's just a common social media "Hot girl sliding into your DMs" account

[–] M137@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Why did you write OG with a zero?

[–] HeurtisticAlgorithm9@feddit.uk 23 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Where else would you start your indices?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

0 is for array offsets. 1 is for lists.

She just has zero gravitas.

[–] Mandrilleren@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's actually always been 0G. It means zero gravity because it's so original it was there before earth formed to make a gravity well.

Over time people just confused the term.

Why would you lie on the internet like that?

OG stands for Original Gangster.

[–] Mandrilleren@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was an attempt at a joke.

I thought the ridiculousness of the claim would make it obvious.

[–] underline960@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You would think. We have people in 2025 who think this is real:

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Cute little man with a job, bless him

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

man, if he was real and delivered mail to me, I think that would fix me

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I don’t know how that works. If a woman slid into my DMs at all, let alone one in a bikini, I’d immediately dismiss it as spam.

Women don’t hit on men often, and they certainly don’t do it on the internet.

Then again, people fell for Nigerian Prince scams so I guess I’m just more wary prey.

A mere imitation

Ours is better.

Did anyone ever find out what "Nicole" etc actually wanted ? I just blocked and immediately reported spam, but tbh never actually ask what flavour of scam "she" was up to

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 76 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Eventually the messages started coming with crypto addresses to help her with her sick dad and college tuition.

[–] thanksforallthefish 36 points 3 days ago

Ahh, yeah ok, not too surprising I guess. Thanks

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No. No more Nicole spam after they locked the Nicole community. Because someone thought it would be funny to spam photos of a corpse.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As hard as they shut down discussions of "Nicole" I'm surprised simply saying the name doesn't get your account banned.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm surprised shutting down the community stopped the messages. I never thought that would work

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

sh.itjust.works clamped the spam filter down so hard that there was awhile there where I couldn't access the nicoled@feddit.org community from my account, I had to go separately. So somebody might still be trying and it's getting nuked server side.

It was such a weird scam, too.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh that's interesting. But the senders were from a variety of instances

Yeah I think the sh.itjust.works admins blocked it pretty hard from showing up to internal accounts. Other folks from other instances could send, but us sh.itheads couldn't receive. And they did their brain surgery with a backhoe.

[–] Moose@moose.best 15 points 3 days ago

Some person named Lily is going to be very disapointed in the future if they want a username with their name in it. What do you mean they're all taken?!?

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 days ago

Oh no. She's hot.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 5 points 2 days ago

...now that's a name i've not heard in - two months...

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Oh that's a battalilyon

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space -1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Isn’t Bluesky spam all the way down?

[–] clang@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I’ve got about 600 followers. I think about 525 of them are just bots.

Pretty poorly executed bots too if you ask me. Every one has a profile pic of a cute girl, always exactly two posts, and they’re following somewhere between 1.5k and 15k accounts.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Not for me tbh. I followed some people and algorithm seems to curate my feed accordingly. It's mostly cats and climate news.

[–] pero@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Yeahh, a lot of posts what end up on the frontpage get at least a few copy paste comments

I honestly expected bsky would be better with spam protection than twitter, but hey, at least its not dicks and uncensored porn as it was on twitter
