For those of you who may not know. It would appear as if the Guppe groups are down for good. Apparently the bloke who ran it got knifed in the back by the domain being sold to another ahead of schedule and before he could renew it. Whether he will be able to get it back up and running in another way, I don't know.
Fedigroups run a similar service, for those interested. I tagged the autistic one above. about.fedigroups.social/home
I'm not sure how widespread this information about the Guppe groups is yet. But, for those of you who us it a lot, whether for autism, or anything else, it may not be the worst idea to post something similar to this to your followers and help spread the word.

Probably why they don't allow nsfw material. Also, as all they do is boost, more or less, I'm not sure they would come under it.

Here's the info I was able to find, if anyone else is looking for more information about what happened. And if anyone else has any further information, I'd like to see it.

Guppe is dead?

in reply to Uniflame • • •As in @actuallyautistic They basically acted as boosts for your posts to all those who followed them. It had slightly better range than the hashtags, which tend to be a bit more organic in how they spread.

I'd suggest people don't mention the @ actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe group in full.
It's no longer forwarding posts and we don't currently know what happens to posts sent to the former group addresses. They could be collecting them for some nefarious purpose.
