Facebook Group Bot Info

For sixty minutes, the group sat silent. The Bot’s last visible action was a spinning “typing” indicator that never resolved.

The Bot did not reply to any of them.

One night, Arthur created a secret admin post: “How do we ban this thing?” facebook group bot

And that, as they say, was the last automated message in the Vintage Appliance Enthusiasts & Restorers group. For sixty minutes, the group sat silent

But the Bot wasn’t a member. It was a presence. One night, Arthur created a secret admin post:

He posted a public message to the group, not as an admin, but as a person. “Everyone. Log off for one hour. Go find a broken toaster in your basement or a thrift store. Don’t photograph it. Don’t identify it. Just hold it. Feel the weight of it. Smell the dust. Remember why you love this stuff.” Then he unplugged his router.
