    I got a dm from this account as well haha

  • Oh so it was a bot.

    I’ve had a few random PMs from confused people that were just one offs and thought this was one of them. But that is verbatim the message I got from the account.

    The Fediverse Scamgirl!

    Awkward Nerd Girls Want In Your DMs! They’re not in your area, just online!


    I almost made this same post and then decided I didn’t care enough. This was my take on the same;

    Also interesting that she has a different username literally everywhere and she’s speaking English, “from” Toronto, on a Swedish Lemmy instance.

      Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.

      Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:

      Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.

      We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.

      And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).

      She’s the girlfriend from Canada your friend who came out of the closet in college told you about in high school.

      It doesn’t take long to realize one can post in a “penpal” or similar communtity (create one if there isn’t) rather than messaging an awful number of strangers. Spamming is not okay either way, too bad few people realize it is spam without it being exposed by others.
