There's actually conjecture in the Nicole community that Nicole might actually be the victim of bullying or some creepy obsession on the part of the perp.
It's not really awesome at all.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Nice try, Nicole
Thanks!
One of us! One of us!
Does it though...?
Personally, yes.
We're getting married!
Congratulations, but please don't invite me to the wedding 🙂
We're all getting invited.
What does “Nicole-ed” mean? I’m curious if it matches the Nicole I know.
She’s everyone’s proud Polish wife from Toronto.
Apparently there’s a vulnerability with sending messages with images in them and “she” might be logging people’s IP addresses through that. I’m under the impression that while the Nicole images are probably all pictures of the same girl, the scammer is not her.
Every one of the posts today that I've received have the url https://lemmy.laitinlok.com/pictrs/image/e1be7d9e-9e3e-4ba9-9c08-1ff084b554e1.png
. If everyone has the same links, then logging people's IP would get you the same information as logging IPs from a public post in any popular community. I think that would only make sense if each user was receiving different URLs, for the attacker to log the requested resource and their reference of which user they sent that URL to. I can't confirm this suspicion on my own, but if the URL I posted is the same one you got today, then I doubt there's any attempt to match users to their IP addresses.
