I am so, SO curious about the "Fediverse Chick" spam campaign. We've suspended, like, a dozen of her accounts so far and she just keeps going. I assume the end goal is getting money out of people, but like, why target Fedi and self-hosting OSS nerds? It's like Joanne the Scammer trying to grift her way through the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone 🤣

Reminds me of Darwin's Hawkmoths, growing incredibly specialized proboscises to suck nectar from equally specialized flowers: https://www.calacademy.org/learn-explore/specimens-in-focus/darwin%E2%80%99s-hawkmoth
