Bishop has since been denied bond. This isn’t the first time he has been arrested. In 2020, 21 members of CarbonNation, Bishop included, were arrested in Hawaii for breaking Covid-19 restrictions.
I have an interview coming up where we will look closely into Nature Boy & CN 3/3

The news family have been waiting for. Lori Vallow-Daybell is fully competent to stand trial alongside husband Chad Daybell despite attorneys grasping for Chad to be tried separately. I covered this case in-depth but there is a lot to go over. Hopefully there will be justice.

167 Interview with Registered Professional Counsellor on Religious Trauma


In this episode I sit down with former Christian Fundamentalist and Registered Professional Counsellor working exclusively with clients covering from Religious Trauma - Janice Selbie. Janice is also a Religious Recovery Consultant.

During our conversation, Janice explores various earmarks of Religious Trauma and how people may recognise Spiritual Abuse. Janice also talks us through how she divorced religion and what deconstruction and integration into typical society felt like for her and how others may work towards doing the same. Janice gives the listeners some insight into how to become a counsellor in this field and some great resources to better understand the subject of Religious Trauma.




TOS Update


I've amended the Terms of Service to include trolling as a bannable offence. This still falls within the overarching theme of "don't be a dick".











Email Outage


Due to a misconfiguration, our outbound SMTP credentials were compromised. After an investigation, I was able to determine how this was done and correct the issue.

There is no evidence that the attacker was able to compromise user accounts, so you do not need to do anything. What this does mean is that outbound emails will not be working today, but should resume working by tomorrow. This means no email notifications and no password resets.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

in reply to Jon's Friendica Node Notices

Looks like we had a spambot. I blocked them but couldn't figure out why my mail provider kept blocking SMTP access. It's because I forgot to clear postfix's outbound mail queue, so as soon as I'd re-enable it, it'd just resume sending the old spam again.

In short, I'm an idiot.



Invitation Link Not Working


Hey all,

I've managed to get the email system working (almost) perfectly now. The one thing that's still not working is the link to invite someone to the node. It will say that an invitation email has been sent when it actually hasn't. This seems to have to do with a bug in the Friendica code itself that I have reported upstream.

In the meantime, you can work around this by copying the text of the invitation and emailing it yourself, or you can just direct them to social.jlamothe.net to register their account.

I apologize for any inconvenience.
