Trying to figure out why I keep seeing this thread when I don't follow any of the recent participants and it's not using any hashtags I Follow

Turns out that it's being boosted by "AP-AT-Bridge Group" -- which I *do* Follow

Damn Groups are spammy reply bots that saturate the Home feed of everyone who Follow them -- even when they're not participating in a particular thread, or even when a particular thread has wandered *way* off-topic

Not at all the first time this has happened, either

Solution: Unollow spammy reply-bot group @activitypubblueskybridge

ahhh...

Timeline cleanse
