that the main way people use groups for microblogging is suddenly defunct because one person forgot to renew their domain might be a good indication that decentralisation and network resilience includes more than counting the number of servers

a sort of hacky system to create groups for Mastodon, where if you tag the group account it gets boosted to all the people following it. didnt work super well, but it was the most used system for lack of an actual group system thats compatible with microblogging
honestly fairly similar to hashtags, but it had some form of rudimentary moderation system tacked onto it i believe

julian Laurens Hof general@activitypub.space I agree. Gup.pe always felt like a stop-gap for group microblogging rather than a real solution. The better approach is to cross-post into a proper forum, where people can choose the UI that suits them best. Personally, I’m a fan of Piefed—even if I haven’t yet tested how this plays out on NodeBB.
