   Does anyone know the history of that Gorf site? Looks very small and has a bunch of former gabbers joining and creating groups. Wondering when it was created and if we will be welcome there.
   
   I really miss the groups. Gorf now has Victory Gardens and Backyard Chickens but virtually no members.

     @TinyHouse4Life @Anon_Z @matty the problem with self destruct posts on the fediverse is they aren't truly self destruct. the nature of the fediverse means that it replicates your post to dozens of thousands of servers and gets stored for a finite amount of time, some places store them forever. some even reject delete requests meaning you should never post something on fedi that you would not want coming back to bite you in the ass because once it's posted here, it's forever. you should use that general rule of thumb for all internet activities tbh

     I wish they could borrow that AND the self destruct posts option!

     Maybe someone could "borrow" the code from gab. :)

     Let's ask @matty and @graf if there is a coding reason why groups aren't viable options for their more popular instances

     I think it's being worked on, it's just not like a high priority for the Soapbox developers. I would like to see that feature be brought to Soapbox some day.

     I am very glad I asked about that place. I had a hinky feeling.

     @TinyHouse4Life @Anon_Z @matty there's 4, 5 years worth of lore as to why they don't exist here. a lot of it has to do with technical limitations of scaling it across the entire fediverse. a few people have taken on the project but it's stagnated because of this. there are group features using external third party instances however, such as a.gup.pe/
     
     basically with this you create a group, then you can follow it like a normal user here and anybody who posts @ it will be reposted on your timeline. similar but not the entire. functionality is similar but it's not as elegant of a solution
