    Has anyone actually got any proof of the images being sent? People are claiming that the message just self deletes and they just suddenly forgot that screenshot is a thing. How are the police not involved at this point if that many people have received these supposed dead Nicole pictures. If this is a joke it’s in pretty bad taste

      The message does not self delete.

      What people are seeing is the action of admins to remove the content from your inboxes. A recent Lemmy update provides admins the ability to ban users and remove their content including DMs. The quicker instances are banning the spam accounts very rapidly, some even with automation. The best thing you can do if you receive spam is to report it so your admins can act.

      Editing to add- The most recent build 0.19.11 also removes images sent in DMs on the webui. Apps and cached files may still show the images to some users.

        Good luck, it doesn’t exist. If it does it will be very obviously photoshopped. At least obvious enough for authorities to be not treating it as a possible murder

          Photoshop? That’s only for professional design and photo editing these days right? I mean, why do all the trouble yourself when AI can do it better. I never use Photoshop anymore because of this.

            Yeah that is true. I only assume photoshop as AI tends to make mistakes that can easily be seen

      Update: further down in the thread there is a link to someone describing the image. It sounds like to me that there’s no way these could be connected. The “killer” would have to be the one taking the creep shots on the web cam, then also somehow be the mortician too? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone who was tired of the whole Nicole thing so they decided to “kill her” off. But for some fucked up reason they used actual gore.

        Yeah the dead woman was found on a gore website I think, taken from a Chinese morgue? It’s definitely sent by a different actor. Both the gore spammer and the regular “Nicole” spam is still ongoing in parallel too, following their respective patterns.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone who was tired of the whole Nicole thing so they decided to “kill her” off.

        Well, they definitely succeeded at that, given how the whole thing has been locked down.
