PLEASE READ, SERIOUSLY.........
Ok, I hate doing this but while the developers deal with situations on their end I would like to note a few things with Groups. Don't take this as me waving a finger or being judgmental. I know that the world pushes us to play the Alpha game and that is great in this dog eat dog world but some of us are hyper-dimensional bears. Sleeping it off or in our temporal down period. We do not like waking up and finding out that we have just been subscribed by someone else to a group without our say so. So here are 2 things about groups. These are not hard set rules but if the issue keeps coming up we may have to start taking hard action. No one likes doing that. Well some people do but I am not one.
1) Do not subscribe someone to your group without asking them. That is like a corporation telling you that you have just bought their service without them asking or you having ordered anything. The only reason you know about it is that you just received the bill from CHEAPWHORESAREUS. Remember, Opt In not Opt Out.
2) Do not spam a group with stuff that is not what the group is there for. AKA if the group was made for people who love Honey Badgers it is unlikely that they want to hear about the life cycle of an independent politician or get a 5000 page essay on Crypto-Currency.
While we do not believe in getting rid of people here and don't ATM if people start making it impossible to run the platform guess what will start happening out of necessity. Now, no one has said anything to me about this kind of thing but I have been in the industry long enough to know the life cycle of an alt-platform.
Now, you have an Admin who actually cares about this kind of thing and a backer who takes a hands off approach. That is rare and very cool. You also have me now and I would much rather not bring anything to anyone's attention. They have enough on their plates. If you have a question, I am around and I do my best to pay attention. I like this place. This is the most functional platform on this side that has not completely broken down into a non-functional gelatinous thing. (Er em Gab) and that does not have a God complex (*cough* Minds).
Just for your info, what I do around here is graphics for ads and the platform. Also I am a people person. I AM DAMMIT! I am here to ward off black pilling and be your advocate if things go horribly wrong. Also to suggest things along the way. AKA help the big people. and then hide before anyone notices I am there. Kinda like a Roadie.
Anyway, please help me out of this. I have a lot of groups and have to field the complaints when someone gets plugged into a group they didn't want. And seriously I do not want to have to use this pineapple for un-natural purposes.
