Plural Kit - Tumblr Posts

pk psa

Are we the only system who genuinely despises using plural kit?? seriously so many people don't realise system data is by default public with the right keys - it doesn't have to be, but it's not an easy to find and many people don't realise.

I was messing around with it, trying to set up a test profile....

and with one misclick I brought up a random system I had never met's full alter list (200+ alters), pronouns, trauma, roles, likes, dislikes, etc. Along with their system description which contained their full trauma history, bodily age, birthday, and social media.

That much information should not be readily available to anyone. It's just not safe. Please be careful how much information you leave public.

Some people aren't that nice and will use that information against you. No matter your age, but minors are particularly vulnerable to it. Knowing your system's full triggers is such an easy way for people to take advantage of you/your system - especially if you have strong amnesia barriers, there's a high chance some system's may not realise anything is happening.

IF YOU USE PK, PLEASE CHECK YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS.

We use tupperbox instead of pluralkit if we're insisting on chatting as ourselves on discord.. we find it easier to use than PK and there's very little information displayed in a profile (the picture inserted below is all that's displays with a tupper proxy)

Just be careful, everyone. Okay?

*cutely redesigns your DID flag*

Playing around with our DID design assignment, tonight, and I made a thing...?

Look, it's just for funsies (and the assignment), I'm not expecting everyone to suddenly use my flag lol but I'd like to know, what do y'all think?

Coined for DID/OSDD (ie. complex dissociative disorders).

I took inspiration from the existing DID/OSDD symbolism in the Venn diagram (which is also a logo I'm using in the assignment). The colour scheme is inspired by the existing orange for DID, and the teal used in the OSDD flag coined by a deleted user on r/OSDD (and I've always thought of DID/OSDD as teal and orange!). The stripes are uneven to represent the fluctuating nature of having a CDD system, alters. The greenish-brown stripe is for amnesia and jarring day-to-day interruptions. There's a bit more meaning in it, but I can't remember right now.

I did a reverse image search with it, and it seems to be rather close to the pro non-traumagen "PMSC&" flag (according to pluralpedia..) and a little close to "venngender" which I hadn't heard of either until literally now... but…. apart from that little overlap… I think it's okay! Besides, there are only so many colour combos in the world!

Hope you like it!!

I can't tell anyone not to interact with this post: this is the internet, after all.. but we would appreciate it if it remained in DID/OSDD/trauma system spaces only.

Simply Plural on our end! The feature set works better for our needs, we're in the beta group, and we have too much data stored in it to happily switch to Octocon without a lot of effort — maybe once Octocon is on web, and we can quickly copy/paste from our current SP profiles we might more seriously consider switching (pun not really intended, but I'll take it).

We struggle to understand how to view Plural Kit information at a glance, and by the time we had access to PK, our system had already got used to the keyboard shortcuts for Tupperbox so we don't use it — if we're messaging on Discord, we use Tupperbox or nothing at all.

Besides, we feel safer with the little amount of information shown in a Tupperbox profile (and yes I am aware PK settings can be changed so that certain data doesn't show up: we just use TB, it's a personal preference).

Us personally use both SP and Octo but slowly transitioning to using Octocon only.

*sigh* just a friendly reminder that PluralKit attaches a unique code to your system that allows anyone to look up your system - and if you look up a system on discord using pk;system [code], gives a link to all of their public system data on PKs website, which for some of you includes information on triggers, sexuality, and other things that cyberbullies may misuse.

I have been messing around with the settings as much as possible and I cannot find a way to avoid this beyond privating all alters and all system info, which many users don't do.

Even with information privated, it still seems that PK will link your discord handle with your Pluralkit user if the unique code is plugged in.

Sharing as this seems to me like a breach of privacy at best, and dangerous at worst.

What platforms is SimplyPlural on? Ik its mobile, but idk what kind, or if it has browser version too. Thanks :3

All of the above, anon! Web, iOS and android :)

Links attached to their respective platforms - and link to SimplyPlural's main website.

There's also Octocon that has similar functionality as well as having discord integration similar to PluralKit and TupperBox, however it's only available for android at the moment - last I heard it's been planned to hit iOS in late 2024/early 2025; unclear when a web version is on its way.

We use a combination of TupperBox and SimplyPlural and have found that to work best for us as we use multiple operating systems, but use whatever software works best for you. <3

Let me know if you'd like a breakdown of why we use SimplyPlural + TupperBox; I'm most happy to do so :)

Small note with discord applications; messages can be traced back to your account - PluralKit especially has some issues regarding privacy as alters are automatically shown as public, and every PK user has a unique code attached to their system that allows anyone to look up their info. We wrote a post about it here.

Guide to Pluralkit

So pluralkit is a tool used very commonly for plural systems. Basically what it does is proxy who’s speaking (this can have an alters name, pronouns, a custom profile picture, ect.) it’s very easy to use once you get the hang of it!

Step 1. Make yourself a private discord server. The reason why is because that way it’s easier to edit and save what you need in the server.

after this you will need to add pluralkit to the server. You can do this by going to the website (https://pluralkit.me) or clicking the bot in a server you share with it, and adding it to your server.

Okay so after that, set up your server. All it needs is the channels you guys need. Obviously general can be whatever, we use it for bot commands. Would recommend a system chat channel, especially if you cannot speak internally. Other channels that might be helpful, or channels to store picrews and things of that nature, we have one for storing alter intros, if you don’t want to have a psychical diary, you could start one in the private server, and basically anything you need. The idea is that this server only has you guys in it

Step 2. Okay so you’ll need to set up a system now. To get started you’ll need to do pk;s new keep in mind you can only have one system per discord account, and only 1k members (we have heard you can request more in the discord server, but we haven’t tried it ourselves)

Most system servers require a system tag. To set one you do pk;s tag (tag here) tags can be anything in a character limit. Ours is 💙. Some servers don’t like when people have the same tag, so if you need to change it in a server you can do pk;s server tag (tag here)

After setting up your system to add a member you do pk;m new (members name) keep in mind you want it to be one word with no spaces or hard to use symbols. This is so it’s as easy as possible to edit. Also would like to add, if you throw in a image while doing this command, it will set that alters avatar without having to do another command (image below is a random image we had saved) if you are like us, and have alters that share names, it’s best to just add a number (no space still) infront, this makes it way easier to edit.

To set up a display name you do pk;m (members name) dn (what you want it to say, we normally have name and pronouns, and if a alter has like a specific role in the system, sometimes that gets added if the alter wants it)

If you accidentally set the wrong profile picture, or a alter wants a different one for whatever reason, the command is pk;m (name) avatar and then insert the photo

Finally to set a proxy do pk; (member name) proxy (proxy here)text (the text can also be behind the poxy, it just has to be behind or above) proxys can be anything basically! We usually use emojis, although whatever you do, make it something you don’t use. For emojis we have one or two emojis typically that represent the alter, and then the blue heart emoji in front that way if it’s a emoji we use a lot, it isn’t going to proxy us by accident. You can either do the proxy everytime you speak, or do a few commands.

Pk;ap latch this latches to the last used proxy. Good when one alter is having a conversation, but others aren’t.

Pk;ap (name) this latches to the alters name that is used. Does not change until turned off, or switched to a different alter, or auto proxy command.

Pk;ap front this command sets whoever is set as fronting as the auto proxy. The front is set by doing pk;switch (name) To turn off all of these the command is Pk;ap off

Step 3. With pluralkit you can add alters to groups!

To make a group you do pk;g new (groups name) like with the base names you want it to be one word, no spaces or weird symbols.

with groups you can set display names, descriptions, avatars, just for that group!

pk;g description (put the description you want with the command)

pk;g avatar (photo)

pk;g dn (name)

To add members to the group do pk;g (groups name) add (name) (name 2) you can add as many as you want, just make sure to not use commas or and, just name after name separated by a space

Step 4. To set a system/alter description and banner is pretty easy.

For system:

pk;s description (desc goes here)

pk;s banner (add image)

For Alters:

pk;m (name) description (desc goes here)

pk;m (name) banner (add image)

Step 5. Finally, some good commands to just know.

If you react with a question mark emoji on an alter using pluralkit, it gives you information about the person. (Username, ect)

If you have a member you feel needs to be private the command is pk;m (name) private

to delete a member you do pk;m (name) delete and then enter in the code it gives you

to change a alters base name, (not dn) do pk;m (name) rn (new name)

A fun little pluralkit game is going “pk;r (random silly thing here)” Pk;r randomly picks a alter, so putting a random caption over it can be fun sometimes.

if you do set a alters name as something with a space, you’ll have to edit it in qoutes. (Pk;m “Example name with a space” (command)

to look up a list of alters do pk;m list or pk;s list

Thanks for reading! Pluralkit is confusing at first, so we thought we would make a simple guide!
