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.

❌️ DON'Ts

❌️ DON'T easily give away your Simply Plural/PluralKit/Octocon access. Those system tracking apps/bots are full of sensitive information about you and other people might use them to hurt you, so it's fundamental to set visibility levels on your general system profiles, alter profiles and fields. When setting any kind of visibility level where information is shared with even one other person, ask yourself: "What do we gain by sharing this?" and "Can this piece of information be potentially dangerous for us if shared?" ;

❌️ DON'T share your triggers publicly, even the non-negative ones. People might take advantage of you in the future by purposefully triggering certain alters out. If you want to share triggers with other people as a sort of emergency measure, then carefully choose people you trust such as partners, close friends, guardians, family members or your therapist. No one aside from yourself is entitled to know what's triggering for you, if someone keeps demanding to know then vocalize how it's highly sensitive information and set a clear boundary ;

❌️ DON'T share the body's face online if you are not aware of the risks, especially if you are bodily a minor. Unfortunately some groups of people might harass you to extreme ends just because you're openly a system online: if you show the body's face online you can become their target for bullying and/or they might even try to dox you. Of course this is dangerous for bodily adult systems too, but for minor bodied systems doxxing can be even more risky for a variety of reasons. If you want to post photos of the system's body, don't do it on your system's social media account or on a public discord server: do it on a separate account non-system centered ;

❌️ DON'T share alot of details about your disorder on social media. Publicly highlighting details about your disorder (ex. being a survivor of organized abuse, splitting very easily from stress, having other specific comorbidities, etc...) can gain the attention of ill intentioned people that might potentially try to hurt you by manipulating you. If you want to talk about those things online, save that information for conversations in safe spaces with people you trust. However if you want to spread awareness of some things that affect your experience as part of a system but can also put a target on yourself, then take some extra cautionary measures by not posting too much personal information ;

✅️ DOs

✅️ DO set boundaries on your profile based on whatever feels comfortable. It's your social media page and it's understandable if you feel like certain groups of people should not interact with your content: boundaries are important in everyday life and that should be the same online. Aside from DNI lists, on Tumblr specifically there are many other things you can do to filter content (mainly blocking people and filtering tags) and to prevent harassment (reporting, not allowing anonymous asks, not allowing asks at all or not allowing asks with media attached to them) which can be both quite useful too ;

✅️ DO take breaks from social media when some situations online are starting to take a toll on your mental health. It doesn't matter if it's syscourse related, harassment or just general drama: when it starts to be something heavy for you then take a break to take your mind of things. Learn when enough is enough. It's important to remember that you decide how much time you'll need in order to feel better, you shouldn't be pressured into coming back ;

✅️ DO be careful on the tags you use related to system spaces. Systemblr is extremely divided on many things and misusing a tag can make people accuse you of invading certain spaces, this woild probably result in you being a target for harassment. Before using a tag in one of your post, make sure you know what that tag is used for to not cause misunderstandings and/or other issues ;

✅️ DO establish a clear level of privacy with the rest of the system. If possible, try to communicate and discuss how much you collectively want to share with the public about the system (such as names or other information about the system's members) and what is best to keep private. Remember that if another system online does it, it doesn't mean you should do it too: always do whatever feels comfortable and not what someone else does ;

Do add more advice in the comments or reblogs if necessary, systems online deserve to be safe just like anybody else.

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?

Adaptive headspace/fronting space

Okay hear me out,

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.

Hey, just wanted to ask a bit of a weird question that I feel is kind of interesting regarding source and introjects.

What's the best way you would describe a on-going source of an introject? Like, how does it feel for them? How would you describe their perception of it?

Ours sometimes feel like a mix of unlocking past memories and that it's happening to us in that moment, at the same time. Others feel like it just their past and they take a while to get used to that new information after watching it. And then there's the ones that don't front at all while watching their source and their next front are just like "so, that happened" and move on with their day.

It's funky and we just deal with it so, there's that :)

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.

System experiences I rarely see being talked about

Host is an age slider

Sexual trauma holder being an age slider or a little

Having biblical/religious alters (for example: angels, demons, Gods/goddesses and/or a prominent religious figures)

Having no inner world

Having littles acting older then their age

Littles being gatekeepers

Having one room as an inner world

Different alters having different religions and how the system navigates having several different religions

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!! :”)
