With the newest image posted here, this has stopped being funny.
It now looks like an actual killer may be playing games on lemmy.

This doesn’t need more publicity, in my opinion this calls for an admin to contact police.

    The pessimist optimist in me assumes it is a viral marketing campaign for low budget horror.

        I was thinking of dismissing it being a negative take, but you are right that in this case that is more of a positive.

      I can virtually guarantee you that is not the case. Lemmy is not a big enough platform yet to make that worthwhile.

        Is it big enough to be a platform for distribution of unsolicited snuff footage with months of buildup?

        Spammers don’t usually get dedicated discussions, so odds are it is someone who really understands this kind of social media knowing what would spark discussion. The odds of that person distributing material that could be traced back to them seems pretty remote.

        It could also be trolling instead of a movie. Odds of it being real are virtually nil.

          What’s the definition of it being “real” in this case? A real dead body? It definitely looks to be that. The question is rather whether it is the same person as the Nicole spam images.

    Why would we delete it when it could be used as an investigation?

    If the real nicole really did suffer at the hands of the perpetrator, then having this community could be invaluable for getting her justice.

    This just turned from some troll-y ARG to CSI: Toronto.

      The admin can set aside a backup for police.
      But it doesn’t need to be public.

      We will just give the psycho attention they want. The Netflix documentary “Don’t fuck with cats” describes very similar situation

    I agree. I don’t think this place was ever in good taste because it allowed pictures of her. Now it’s worse.

    At a minimum I think posts that include pictures of her should be banned.

    I agree. What if this psycho will start doxxing and targeting other users here?

    No shit. I’ve blocked this community awhile ago yet you still show up on my feed.

    I have no idea who this Nicole loser is but you’d probably have less animosity if you fuckers weren’t nonstop PMing random people about Nicole. I don’t give a fuck about you so stop harassing me.

    Cause and effect. Something to think about.

      No one here is sending those PMs. This community was created in response to the spambots that have been going around, trying to investigate where this spam is coming from.

      Problem is, it’s suspected that the Nicole in the photos isn’t the spammer, and the spammer may even be trying to stir up a mob to dox and harass whoever the real Nicole is. So people are concerned that this community may be putting that person at risk.

      Members of this community aren’t the ones PMing you.
      Someone using multiple bot accounts is PMing almost everyone on lemmy with these Nicole pictures.
      This community was made in response, to discuss and meme about those PMs.
      But the latest PM going around shows an obviously real picture of the girl naked and dead, so it’s time to stop memeing about it.
