General

You may have noticed that emails haven't really been working on this instance properly if you've tried to reset password, for instance.

Just wanted to let folks know that they should be working properly now and to use it if they need it, for notifications or password reset or whatever else.

I ended up signing up for email hosting for a little while, which is still a free trial but should provide this functionality for us for a few months with zero cost.

I'm now going to start requiring email verification for new applications. I also get emailed when new people sign up too so I can be on it quickly and approve real people. Should be a good time overall.

Hope everyone is doing well! Just got off vacation myself but looking forward to watch our little community grow. Also happy 4th of July!

I turned on registration applications today since we had someone out there making tons of bot accounts on this instance.

Also since I don't have a ton of control over what these accounts are doing I'm just going to be banning and then deleting them between Jun 18 at 6pm EST to Jun 19 at 9pm EST.

New accounts that go through the registration should be good to go. Anyone who had an account before then should be good too. Let me know if you got caught up in it or are having issues. If you need to, make a new account.

Thanks everyone, I feel confident this is the best way to handle it so we don't have an artificially inflated number of 'users'

I usually use timers to track the come up, come down and peak of a trip. but sometimes due to imparment it is not very useful. Reading wavy numbers and doing math can be hard while tripping right?

That's how I got the idea of creating an app with nice charts and graphs that shows exactly how much effect you're supposed ti be experiencing based on psychonaut wiki's timing data and maybe a weight or metabolism speed factor in app setting.

You would be able to choose the substance, from caffein to mushroom whith everyhing in between, the way of intake, amount etc... and a nice graph with an indication of where you are right know will be displayed.

This could be very usefull to nail hippie flipping timings and other less risky mixing (PLEASE follow harm reduction guideline, the app would warn users trying to input two very dangerous interactions or if they are inputting so much quantity that they are going to OD off course)

on top of that, visual feedback could be implemented like instead of a graph, just the screen color changing wpuld be an even simpler thing to understand to someone under shrooms (only tried this and lsd cannot so please feel free to comment if you have more experience!).

1 - Do you know of any app like this already existing?

2 - Would you use an app like that instead of basic timers?

Great writing on the current Reddit saga. The author put down in words a lot of things in my mind I couldn't find the right words.

Thought this article was interesting so I'm cross-posting it here as well!
