The DOs and DON'Ts of your online privacy as a DID/DDNOS system.
Openly being a DID/DDNOS system online can be dangerous, as it may lead to harassment or other risks for your safety. These are some tips for online privacy as a system: for newly discovered systems, younger systems and anyone who might need advice.
PluralKit “Are we awake?” frontend - A simple web client for the PluralKit API, displaying whether your system has at least one current frontier, by the Iris System, Pluralkit’s maintainers!
Hello! We have emerged from the ground to talk about this little application/add-on.
If you ask how we found this, I spent like 30 minutes trying to find something like this because of front.plural.codes stopped working for us, so we needed an alternative.
If you’re a system who uses Pluralkit, specifically the autoproxy option on front mode, then this might be for you.
The “Are we awake?” frontend is a web client that uses the Pluralkit’s API to put in a nice page who is currently fronting! This is helpful for systems who doesn’t want to share other applications such as Simply plural but still wants to disclose their current fronters.
Not only does it allow you to use a personalised URL for your own system using your PK Syetem ID, it also let’s you embed the script to your own domain such as Neocities or even Carrd.
Here is the main page for setting up your own URL:
Two Week Notice: Questioning System Accountability Again
I have a metaphor. I do actually want someone to teach me, but like I am a small child. I am very fragile.
Being in a system is like working at a company. The body is the building we work in, the alters are the employees.
We found a portion of our family that was safe-ish and had no part in our abuse, and we told one of the university-age cousins about our system. They asked which of us was their cousin.
That’s like walking into a bank and asking the staff “which of you is Chase?” It could be that someone in that bank is named Chase; they might even have been named after this bank, but they are not Chase Banks.
System responsibility is like that too. We all represent the corporation, we all follow the ideals set by the job while we’re working. Each of us is not an embodiment of these ideals outside of work, but we understand what is expected of us.
The problem a lot of us have is that we can’t quit working here. We can make active attempts at staying out of front, try for dormancy or splitting, but there’s no guarantee that’ll work.
This building also has children and animals and objects and all that. Are they also responsible for the company? I don’t hold them to the same standards as myself or other more developed alters, but outsiders still see them as just the brand.
A lot of us are alright with confirming to these ideals and helping the others to do the same, but this is a very big company. We don’t all agree with leadership, we stage coups and do our best to make right with our external presentation. But is it really okay that we don’t have a choice?
It feels like our options were either all become a singular entity under this corporate name or get really good at pretending to be a singular entity under the corporate name.
I’m not saying we’re gonna stop serving our roles as employees, but I don’t understand why the expectation is ethical. It goes against our fundamental beliefs about what our system is, so I want someone to sit down and explain it until it feels okay.
We are not all one company, one person. So why do we have to act like one? Or is it really just to make outsiders more comfortable with our multiplicity?
For so long the space where we all front has almost always been a single wooden desk office type, some chairs depending on how many people is fronting, keyboard and mouse, all in a very much void like room with no lights or color.
Depending on the person, some things might get changed but al so always be small changes, e. g:
Boo changes the wooden table for a smart touchscreen table.
Wil sometimes has a screen on top of the wooden table.
If there’s more people near front, enough to have opinions but not to control the body, there might be a small living room behind the desk and chairs, sometimes there’s even a door and a bar, sometimes not.
And then, there’s me, having my source’s office, full on room. I’d have whatever the fuck’s happening outside either in a pc screen or have it blurred between the internal vision and the external vision. Both in front and behind me were completely changed. I’d have people over and they would come from the door in front of me and sit down in front of me too, no more internal backseating.
So, there’s that, headspace can adapt to the person in front.
DID, OSDD, and amnesia can present so many ways. it’s different for everyone.
amnesia may present for one as forgetting things that happened in childhood, while having great memory for recent events. it may also be remembering everything that happened in childhood while having terrible memory for recent events.
amnesia doesn’t have to be complete loss of memory, either. a lot of people do have that kind of amnesia, but sometimes amnesia is being able to recall a memory but it being so blurry and indistinguishable it’s pretty much like it actually is gone, or something like remembering pieces of what you just did while you can’t actually find the visual memory in your head, as if someone just told you what you did but left out major parts of the story.
it might also present as emotional amnesia, where you are unable to recall the feelings you felt at the time of the event, while you otherwise can remember what happened.
you don’t even have to forget that you’ve forgotten. while a lot of these are more common in DID and OSDD, none of them are necessary other than the fact you have amnesia of some kind, and in some people with OSDD, none at all.
you don’t have to have every single type of amnesia, you can have multiple or all types of amnesia, you can also have only one. any amnesia counts.
Hm.. i have a fictive here, the way i describe this is like getting an update after downloading the new info/canon facts from the source and then automatically installed (is not even aware of when).
Genuinely, her response is similar as "oh wait i didn't know this part of 'me' (as in source),, whoops let me fix that" to such new info.. this is all i got to explain as it happened only once or twice so far.
Thanks for letting me know how yours look like, i've been curious about that too,, hope that answers the question!
hey other systems, would recommend steering clear of user eruruu, it seems to have been convinced by their psychiatrist(s) that DID is mostly delusion and only consists of heightened trauma states and dissociation. it came onto my post about how to support loved ones who are systems with a massive spiel explaining extremely out of date understandings of DID, finishing it off with an outdated article from the late 1900s-early 2000s containing many misconceptions about the disorder as a whole. I’d suggest blocking it, don’t interact or send hate, I think it’s been convinced of these things by professionals trying to make the disorder less “scary” or “unusual”. just block and move on.
In favor of our most recent post about people making “DID fakers” bingo, I made my own DID bingo card. Feel free to fill it out and see if you have a bingo
Something I think every OSDDID system should hear from the newest Pixielocks video!
I have been a supporter of Pixie and their sys since I was in middle school and this isn’t the first time they’ve said something related to mental health that really resonated with me!! :”)
Our full sys name is “Berry Basket System”, its kinda a huge masking ref/joke, bc my most used nickname is berry, my whole personal asthetic r strawberries, but since we r plural we just went “what do ppl use to carry berries. baskets. it gives cottagecore vibes ngl” n it stuck. But we’ve been slowly shortening the name to just “Basket sys” just bc.
Also fun fact, we have this little thing in our sp and pk that a type of berry us assigned to us
