r/SimplyPlural

Hello,

If you are part of the Discord server, you may already know our headmate, Pim. Pim is deeply passionate about creating safe, educational, and supportive spaces for plurals, and has long dreamed of building a community where plural people can feel understood, represented, and supported.

As a system, we already run a Facebook page focused on fibromyalgia awareness called Living with Fibro. Through educational content, personal experiences, and community support, the page has grown to over 1.6k followers, many of whom regularly engage with and relate to our posts.

Over time, many people encouraged us, especially Pim, to create something similar focused on DID. However, rather than limiting the project to one diagnosis or experience, Pim wanted to create something broader and more inclusive: a space for plurality as a whole.

That vision led to the creation of the Plural Awareness Project.

The goal of the Plural Awareness Project is to provide education, awareness, advocacy, and community for all forms of plurality. We want to create an environment where plurals can learn, share experiences, access resources, and feel less alone. Whether someone is newly discovering their plurality, questioning, diagnosed, undiagnosed, traumagenic, endogenic, or simply seeking understanding, this project aims to foster respectful discussion and accessible education for everyone.

At the same time, our system knows that this is not something we can build alone. The plural community is incredibly diverse, and no single system can represent every experience, perspective, or voice. Because of this, we want the community itself to help shape this project. We want plurals to be actively involved, whether that means sharing experiences, offering ideas, helping with educational content, moderating spaces, providing resources, or simply participating in discussions.

The Plural Awareness Project is not meant to be just our project. We want it to become a collaborative community effort built by plurals, for plurals.

Through informative posts, community engagement, and open conversations, we hope to challenge misinformation, reduce stigma, and create a welcoming space where plural voices are heard and valued.

😭😭?? who was so mad abt it shutting down bro

Am I the only one to have it ?

I know some people might not like this, but I feel it’s important to know about the apps/websites you’re using, especially if you’re like me and don’t want to put sensitive information such as your altars into something that uses ai.

From what I’ve seen, the owner is surprisingly quick to be upset over simple downvotes (first photo), which is pretty petty, tbh. it’s just internet votes.

My other main problem is that it uses ai. While I understand that yes, ai can be helpful in certain situations, I just couldn't personally trust it with my altars- it messes up all the time, and there are data breaches.

I simply just have a bad vibe about plural star.

-andy

edit: I went through some comments on a post by plural star and the creator was being an absolute dick to some of the people in the comments when they pointed out that it uses ai. like genuinely rude- i really REALLY don’t trust someone if they’re gonna be a dick during a discussion.

edit 2: removed the feature parity because I didnt do my research and it wasnt actually bad, that’s my fault and i aplogize

please don’t be rude to the creator, all im doing is stating what I’ve seen so far and allowing other people to be aware of it. in all reality, if you use it or not is your decision, and its not my business. if you like it and use it, then I’m glad you found something that works for you, if you don’t use it, then that’s also great. just don’t be assholes or try to harass anyone, I think we are all exhausted by this.

with the final confirmation of the server shut downs, and the lack of alternatives that offer ALL functions to view data, weve gotten desperate enough to look into vibecoding (claude), inspite our base stance being anti ai

we have no hope that there will be a propper alternative that could even come close to the amazingness of SP but accepting and finding an alternative is much easier if theres a way to ensure old data isnt lost

sooo this is what we have, a simply plural json data viewer, completley offline with local storage, can see all member info, notes and front entries, front history tab with a similar graph view like simply plural and channels with groups

its currently as a html file that opens in any browser(no need for internet) and no needed install

if anyone would be interested in testing it, our dms are open

and were sorry for resorting to this

edit: here is the drive link with what i have for now https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O6tGoHrC8MlUX4z08wNhrLNFXh4iPJSR

wip: have to look into if the glamourised profile descriptions can work, most probably will need a first time internet access for it, have to add message boards

its built around ourown sp data, so it misses certain things we didn't use

Vault Template Link: https://github.com/Obsidian-Vault-Templates-Systems/System-Vault-v1

Just click the green "code" button, "download zip", extract that folder, then open the folder in Obsidian. When uploading into Obsidian, go deep enough to see the ".obsidian" folder, otherwise it won't work well.

Me and my partner have been developing imPlural for about 2 months now. Given the news about Simply Plural shutting down, we wanted a good app where you can have friends and see their status easily. Nothing was really available at the time, and even now it doesn't feel there's options that feel comfortable to us. We think there are others who are in a similar boat than us.

Since we're both developers with years of experience, we thought to build an app which would have solid friends system as a core feature. Eventually we want to support more Simply Plural features and others as well depending on community interest. Here's a few things that are already in alpha 2:

• imPlural is web based, which means you can either use it in your browser or install it on your device (with offline use supported). iOS is also supported and we're constantly working to make it feel good on iOS, Android, Mac and PC.

• We do our best in accessibility support and thoughtful simple design so imPlural feels comfortable to use. That also means new features come out slower than many other recent apps, but we hope it pays off in building a strong foundation.

• imPlural will stay free for everyone. Free of advertizing, free to use, available for anyone. We use community feedback and polling to inform the direction and features we work on.

• You can import directly from Simply Plural and we will work on importing from other apps and syncing with PluralKit as we have time. We implemented an import wizard to help you import data accurately between apps and hopefully make it a painless process!

• We do our best in accessibility support and thoughtful design so imPlural feels easy, simple and comfortable to use. That also means new features come out slower than many other recent apps, but we hope it pays off in building a strong foundation.

We're working hard on bringing online and friend capabilities in the near future. That will be the topic of alpha 3. For now though, you can help and contribute via our Discord server by applying to be a tester or translator, or just following our updates over there!
