About this community

This is a community for those who are never alone. Whether you have DID, OSDD, tulpas, soulbonds, are part of the plurality umbrella, or know that you are never alone, you are more than welcome here! We also encourage those who are curious about plurality and want to learn more about it, as well as those who are still questioning.

What is plural?

TLDR for community rules

  1. Follow lemm.ee general rules: no abusive language, no bigotry, no advertising, no pornography.
  2. All plural identities are valid; do not dispute the validity of anyone.
  3. Don't pressure questioning people; let people decide whether they're plural or not.
  4. We are not therapist or professionals; this community is not a substitute for professional help.
  5. Be mindful of what you post here; put trigger warning in the post title for negative and/or triggering contents.
  6. All rules apply regardless of who is using an account; as with real life, you are responsible for what your other selves may do.
  7. Do not insist anyone to stop using a term they prefer to refer to themselves.

More than once we have come across some ill informed armchair psychologist who tried to tell us we weren't real or a coping mechanism or some other opinion they pulled out of their ass. Anymany else experienced this?

The other thing we see often is 'jokes' about us using we which derails the whole conversation as we calmly explain what we are, but the thing is it never returns to the conversation afterwards and invariably the above group show up and are unnecessarily mean, their full willful ignorance on display.

Anymany else experienced any of these scenarios? If so how do y'all deal with it?

Have I noticed it? Unfortunately yes. Like, I don't see a lot of Plural presence on Lemmy, but the few times I do usually have someone taking unnecessary shots against Plural systems.

How do I deal with it? Depends on the account I'm on. Fighter likes to tag troublemakers, while most others prefer blocking. Wish I could do more, but I'm not very confrontational even on my most confrontational account.

I'm sorry y'all are facing such negativity here on Lemmy. I hope things get better and people more understanding of the Plural community.

Thanks for sharing y'all's experiences and how y'all deal with it.

Thanks. We are angry but have plans.
