Sorry, this is a competition, I have already TWO Nicole messages, with two different pictures! One of them hasnt been shared widely yet I think so it's a shiny ✨.
I thought it was a scam at first, as on the surface it resembles a romance/pig butchering scam. But if you dig a little deeper, it seems like it could be a harassment campaign targeting someone. The matrix server basically doxes someone's workplace, and the pictures of "Nicole" are screenshots from a webcam. At no point have I noticed any ask for sending funds.
This identity?/bot account has been mass messaging people directly like they did me. Thought it may of been legitimate for a second because some of my recent posts. But this just confirms it is a continuing scam of sorts.

That's so funny, my new girlfriend is also called Nicole, and you won't believe it, I met her right here on the Fediverse! 😍

This is like a one in a million chance, but.....

If this meme persists we can just substitute the vocabulary word 'girlfriend' for 'Nicole' & use it irl.

My girlfriend and I can use our 'interfaces' to connect to a multitude of people, I call it the "Fedilationship". 😏

That’s the beauty of fediverse chicks. If you don’t like the current instance, you can painlessly join another Nicole.

... tl;dr: we shouldn't call them federated services, they are "swinger services" (not to be mistaken with dogging apps).

Okay rewrite this comment in the style of the Stallman copypasta

This is Nicoles world, we just comment in it.

So on one side we have mega(mata)corps, on the other side of the war we have the federation of Nikoles.
The hellscape aftermath is where we pretend-play Fallout.

My Nicole message is going in a frame up on the wall
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y
Please make a post with this!
Irl pic is ofc expected.
True love stories are so inspirational!

You know what, at this point I'd miss the messages if they stopped coming. I had a two week gap and I was weirdly disappointed about it.

Finally got mine. Now i feel like a real lemmy user
Coldgoron@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y
I was wondering what that was about. Guessing now a massive scam message blast?

The mystery and weirdness of this is something to behold.

Nicole is so hot it's actually insane
Bentheredonethat@discuss.online · 2 pts · 1y
I thought she was kind of mid charisma-wise, but I will say she’s well known
Carrot@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 1y
I've gotten 5 messages from Nicole, all with different pictures of the same girl so I know she's real

This is the first thing to make me chuckle out loud today. Completely on topic and unexpected. Thanks, Nicole.
