Hi, 
I just joined the group one or two weeks ago, and quite a lot of spam posts are going through. I'm not sure who has set up the group or how moderation works here, but somebody has to manage this. Otherwise the group will not be very attractive to follow going forward.
Kind regards
Tobias

Agreed, it is not a good look. Although, I do actually need some duct work done...

Why not create a discord group if it doesn't already exists ?
Discord is more suiteable for the purpose here than google conversations. Also for tech apps/sites it's like an unofficial standard platform to engage with their users from what i've seen.

Thanks,
Purna

Just to clarify - is this a human generated answer?
