Did Things - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Hey! Saw your post about Octacon, just wondering what your experience with it is/if it's worth checking out as an alternative to Simply plural? We're just not personally fans of Sp's layout and have only just heard of Octacon
It's 100% a viable alternative to SimplyPlural if you're on android - it's not on iOS yet, last I heard iOS is in development and aiming to be launched in late 2024/early 2025. Octocon doesn't have the web app version (yet) so if that's something you use a lot then it may not work out as well.
SP vs Octo layout
If you find SP's layout pesky, definitely give Octo a go! Currently, Octo doesn't have quite as many features as SimplyPlural but it's a very new app atm and it's improving very quickly :)
If you use discord a lot; it also has a baked in set of features, similar to TupperBox and PluralKit that allow for proxy messaging
There's a lot of information available octo's discord if you're curious: link (https://discord.com/invite/octocon)
![Hi, I'd like to do a bit of clarification here. There's word going around (especially on platforms such as Tumblr and TikTok) that we're "anti-endo" and are going to go on "user crusades" to ban non-traumagenics like certain other SP/PK alternatives did.
This has not happened and will never happen.
We consider our community to be traumacentric, in the sense that our platform was designed specifically for people with traumagenic/medical DID/OSDD in mind. We explicitly develop our platform to accommodate symptoms such as dissociative amnesia. We are not going to stop anyone from using the app or bot, we just ask that our Discord community sticks to that theme so we can form a proper support group around that demographic. Going on "endogenic crusades" would be uncouth, childish, against our values, and quite frankly absurd.
We have a neutral stance on systems not caused by trauma. Our platform just isn't designed for them nor around them. If you came here with the intention of sparking discourse regarding this subject, please leave.
A part that bothers me in particular is that this also implies that we would violate user privacy (or have already violated it, which is even worse). As stated in our privacy policy, this is also not the case. We will never look into someone's account unless we are legally forced to do so under U.S. law, or that person volunteers to share some information to help us fix a bug, at which point we will consensually collect as little information as possible.
I ask that anyone who notices this kind of rhetoric going around on external platforms help us to clarify any misinformation. It would help lessen our workload immensely so we can focus on developing features, fixing bugs, and stabilizing our community. For those of you I've seen who have already helped with this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[and a little reminder that octo is aimed at CDDs but they aren't banning any systems with other origins from using it — full details of post in alt text]
Plus, Octo has a minecraft server for Patreon supporters if that's something you're into XD
We have another post explaining our personal usage of SP if anyone is curious
I saw this thumbnail on YouTube and just, had to turn it into a shit post.
We use both of the terms
But being more theoretically, introjects in CDD context are alters who formed based on something that already existed, and because the oc already existed when the alter formed... Well yeah, it's an introject
This can also applied to any other creation the system mades and then gets in the system as an alter, they're introjections
If I'm not wrong autoject is a term for all the introjects whose source is something created by someone else of the system, some autojects don't consider completely like introjects because the brain made them but not from scratch, so you can just use that if you want
Labels are that, labels, made for your own comfort, so if they don't like introject/autoject/brainmade let them use whatever they want, but theoretically speaking they're introjects, or if they wanna be a little bit more introject separated but still explain they have an "external" source they can use autoject
another serious question for the osddid community
when you make an oc and then get an alter of said oc is that technically an introject? like one of ours just considers herself brainmade since she barely associates with her source anyway (literally an oc we had at like 12) but then another considers themself an introject so it’s??
like are they technically brainmade since yeah it’s an existing character but it’s YOUR OWN existing character or like? 😭
ik labels don’t matter that much but i’ve been curious for a while now
