    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.

    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.

        Apparently there’s a vulnerability with sending messages with images in them and “she” might be logging people’s IP addresses through that.

        If the images are hosted on your instance, this wouldn’t be relevant. If they’re links to an image hosted somewhere, this is possible, but there’d be a lot of noise and not much value. To link accounts to IPs the URLs would themselves need to be different

        I checked the urls to the images in my PMs and they’re all hosted on Lemmy.
