I wonder how large the largest group is? I was in one yesterday that had 30 people in it, but then had to abandon and go to work.

The largest currently active group is 2084[0,1] and the largest known group ever was somewhere in mid-4k[0]

[1] Also, I'm in it.
When I went to sleep last night the group I was in had just grown from ~800 to ~1500 after a merge. In my absence it grew to ~2500 and then ~4400 before Reddit crashed and the room was abandoned.
How were you able to vote while you were asleep?
Just a few hours into the experiment several Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey userscripts were released that enabled auto-voting, among other features. The ability to mute users was also welcome, given how spammy the big rooms got.
How do you mute users?
There are auto-voting scripts that can be installed as plugins in Chrome and Firefox to help with this. I did exactly this last night and woke to find myself in the largest of the groups. It was entirely unfulfilling.
"I automated my role in a social experiment and didn't have fun, AMA."
I was in one at 3500 yesterday, checking /r/robintracking today it looks the biggest is probably down to 2500-ish
