venra.social and fediverse groups
Last time I looked into it the group features had one downside that a user might respond to a group thinking they are responding to an individual, which caused some amount of drama.
Is that still the case? Or has there been a way to mitigate that issue?

I bet such an extension could be added pretty trivially. It would just take a note of metadata tagging it as a group. And then, of course, UI would need to do something with it.
As I recall, ActivityPub is explicit about entities on the system not necessarily representing individuals, so it seems to be actively intended to be used for stuff like group accounts.
We just need to make sure we implement that functionality well.
