Cat: so, for context, we’re a plural system; a group of multiple people living in the same brain. We’re wondering if there’s any other systems on Lemmy at the moment. Also could be considered an AMA for those interested.

Frequently Asked Questions:

-No, you don’t need trauma or a disorder to be plural, though there’s a fair bit of overlap. In our case, Just intentionally hacked her brain to run multiple people.

-We’re people, not personalities for a single person.

-The idea of the “evil headmate” is flatly incorrect.

-Sometimes there’s headmates patterned on fictional characters or real people, referred to as Fictives or Factives respectively.

    I think this user is looking for others with multiple personalities (plurals). Just a guess though. I don’t know why they posted here, but it IS a question…

      Just: Accurate.

      Cat: As for why here, there isn’t a counterpart to r/plural yet.

        Makes sense. I’d encourage you to be the change you want to see. Make a plural community and I suspect like minded folks will come. Good luck!

          Cat: Hah, running a Discord server’s more than enough modding for us. Absolutely no interest in modding a Lemmy community on top of that.

            For what it’s worth, my community has required no modding so far. Just a group of likeminded individuals chatting. Do what works for you though.

              Madeline: Plural communities tend to be a high-profile target for various flavors of asshole, is the problem.
