p.s. I've rewritten the post so that it no longer mentions the tea group, as people were replying to the original post with the tea address included. This was filling the tea group with non-tea posts, as the group shares any post which mentions the group.

Apologies to the tea group for my carelessness.

For those interested in following the group, it's @ tea @ a.gup.pe with the spaces removed.

@feditips Great that that happened! It exposes a significant flaw in the system. It was the 1st question that came to mind when I learned about groups. If Bob is a member of the tea group, surely not all Bob’s posts would be about tea, so it would make sense that Bob should have to mention the tea address in every tea-related post. The bot should only boost _members_ who _mention_ the bot.

FediTips has moved!

p.p.s. If you appreciate groups, please donate to the service that powers most of them, Guppe:

➡️ opencollective.com/guppe-group

They spend hundreds of euros a month on hosting to provide the service, and put lots of unpaid work into it.

Guppe is totally independent, it doesn't get any money from Mastodon etc.
