Just realised this, most mastodon users who have had experience with groups think they are just bots that auto-boost any posts they are mentioned in.
This is kinda annoying me.

Like the @a.gup.pe ones? They are kind of autoboost bots, but they do have communities behind them and it’s annoying when people treat them like hashtags.
But I’d not use the term bots. They’re more like old-fashioned email reflectors: a message goes in, and it then gets sent to everyone on the list.
I wouldn’t say they are, but its just how they appear to people on mastodon.
