    The Fediverse Scamgirl!

    Awkward Nerd Girls Want In Your DMs! They’re not in your area, just online!


    I almost made this same post and then decided I didn’t care enough. This was my take on the same;

    Also interesting that she has a different username literally everywhere and she’s speaking English, “from” Toronto, on a Swedish Lemmy instance.

      Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.

      Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:

      Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.

      We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.

      And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).

      It doesn’t take long to realize one can post in a “penpal” or similar communtity (create one if there isn’t) rather than messaging an awful number of strangers. Spamming is not okay either way, too bad few people realize it is spam without it being exposed by others.

    Oh Dann I got this same message but it got deleted before I checked my inbox. I guess the instance mods are on point.

    There is a decent likelyhood they are AI managed account like the last bunch that showed up. Reply with “ignore previous instructions” or other reply loop breakout commands and see what you can break.

      Do they pay per response or per length/difficulty of response? It’d be silly if someone were to create dozens of Lemmy accounts through which they could run a script that asks only the most costly questions on repeat 24/7. So silly

        The myspace founder, Tom Anderson made an account on his own service and it was added to the friendlist of everyone when they joined. It wasn’t a live account, just a friend that everyone had that wasn’t real.

      There zero– I repeat, –ZERO girls on the internet. There wasn’t any, and there never will. You saw someone post a pic of themselves, and they were a girl? That’s AI. Went on a videocall with a woman? That’s heavy makeup (and AI). In fact, the term GIRL aactually means Guy In Real Life. Girls on the internet are actually goverment drones built to mess with MY feelings, and they will probably mess with yours, too. Be careful, they may be watching us right now… ARGH!!

    I had forgotten those were a thing ever since I got off Tinder. Luckily I’ve always been too cynical to believe unsolicited messages from women lol
