The reason I said this because I’ve been to a lot of groups in instant messaging, and most of them had been misleading from the purposes the group are made in the first place. These are a few lists I can think off, based from experience:
- A group which is meant for an animator and modeler to showcase his work update and Patreon stuffs, turned into a channel for a member in the group, who is a popfur, who shares how perfect his life is - technologies he craves (ironically no Switch), and all the good art he got showcasing his so “sexy” ordinary sona.
- A group which is meant to discuss about scalies, turned into a group of circle jerks - only important people can talk, while the rest are simply ignored. They simply start to dislike you from the start, and worse, they simply blocked you for no reason.
- A group which is amongst your local furs, but it’s all nonsense talk rather than a discussion
- A group of many groups - Furry Valley, known for sharing a lot of yiff pictures and videos, but never allows any members to give credits (even tagging a link is considered “advertising”), wish disrespectful admins and constant spamming

So, whenever you enter in groups and start feel comfortable, think again.
Advise: know your admins well - as in pay attention if he/she does a good job and not abusing the power - share related stuffs (unrelated still okay, but as long it is not to the point of changing the purpose of the group) - be vigilant
