  • a.gup.pe groups

    Guppe groups look like regular users you can interact with using your existing account on any ActivityPub service, but they automatically share anything you send them with all of their followers.

    1. Follow a group on @a.gup.pe to join that group
    2. Mention a group on @a.gup.pe to share a post with everyone in the group
    3. New groups are created on demand, just search for or mention @[email protected] and it will show up
    4. Visit a @a.gup.pe group profile to see the group history

    is this like a hashtag?













  • There are different ways of relating to online content.

    In some contexts I am more motivated to make contributions when I have reason to believe they will be persistent for years. I post on forums that have been around for 20+ years, where I search for things and come up with posts from that whole time. So when I write on there I kind of do it with care because I am thinking of people in the future who will find my stuff.

    OTOH there is also a place for ephemeral communications. That is the whole draw of snapchat for example. The promise this will be deleted soon. Whether that is true or not is another thing… But people do want it sometimes.
