To want to lead a WhatsApp group as I never contribute anything to it

I was added to this group a couple of years ago, they're acquaintances to me through a hobby - cycling - and although they're good friends with each other, I wouldn't describe them as friends. They're also much older than me. I was added to the group with the idea of doing hobby-related activity, but there hasn't been too many planned, they are mostly retired so I've only attended 2 meetups in this time.

They're constantly in the chat though re other things and I contribute nothing. I feel out of the loop because they're all such good friends. I really want to leave the group but am worried it would be rude. I didn't really want to be added in the first place. Would it be rude?

You could always mute it?

Just leave. You've said they're not your friends and you're not getting what you thought you would out of the group. You could always pop a note on saying something like you've enjoyed being in the group but it's not fitting with your life anymore if you feel too awkward about just leaving.

Definitely not rude.

Just leave it. You can do it silently, well admins would know and that's it.

Archive is great. You don’t leave but the chat is hidden out of the way and if anyone checks to see if you’ve read a particular message you won’t have.

Please, don't give this any more headspace. I agree , mute or archive the group and get on with your life.
