Okay, some really bad news but also a suggestion for a way forward.

The Guppe groups domain name was sold by their registrar before they could renew it. This means all Guppe groups are broken, and their web addresses point to a spam blog

However, there is another group provider called FediGroups, you can find out more on their site:

https://about.fedigroups.social/home

FediGroups has features that Guppe never had, including private groups.

If you are a #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin, you may want to purge a.gup.pe from your server.

In Mastodon, go into admin > Moderation > Federation > Add new domain block. Create one for the domain name "gup.pe" (subdomains are included) with "suspend" severity. Once added, go into the details for the newly added block and you'll find the "Purge" button right at the bottom of the page.

Once the domain is purged, the list of severed follows will no longer be available to local users.
