Quieten a busy group without leaving it
Stay in a group that never stops buzzing, keep every message, and let nobody know you have done it.
The allotment group has buzzed fourteen times since breakfast and nine of them are about a wheelbarrow. Leaving would be quiet, and the news would stop with it.
Key points
- Mute a busy group without leaving it, and without anybody knowing
- Still be nudged when somebody types your own name
- Know that reading and saying nothing is what most members do
