Just a heads up to those who host. Piefed has been doing some work to keep the sanity of their admins. I’m thinking of removing dms from my instances just because of all this.

    Man…I got annoyed at the Nicole stuff. But I always figured whoever it was, it wasn’t her. I figured she was just some adult webcam “actress” that doesn’t even know Lemmy exists. And someone was using her image to do this.

    Now she’s dead? How do we confirm this? Do we call the Toronto police? What would we even tell them?

      We don’t know if it’s actually her in the image. While the likeness is similar, it’s not 1:1 and the injuries make it even harder to tell.

      Police, sure, but it probably needs to come from instance admins who will have all of the information on the bots sending the image.

        Oh wow. I already didnt get the “joke” with her(?) spamming. It seemed a little sleazy to me making fun of her in any way. But now with gore pictures? Disgusting.

        Hopefully its just fake and the person is in good health. If there is a possibility of the pictures beeing real, I would recommend contacting the locals authorities too.

          It’s probably photoshop or a photo of someone who looks like her. Horrid stuff, sure, but don’t let it make you lose sleep for it. “Hopefully not real” - it may well be. There’s an unlimited supply of gore on the Internet. I found the hard way back in my teen years. Something died inside of me because of it (innocence? I dunno…), and then I decided that the best thing I could do is accept that people suck and to try to live my own life as best as I could, and help others as much as I could.
