you know what's pissing me off more than simply and octo being shut down? the fact that there are people who are honest to god saying that it's "not a big deal" or that it "doesn't matter".
do you realize that systems have kept years worth of front logs in simply plural? do you realize that polyfrag systems have kept information on hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of alters and fragments in these apps? what do you suggest they do if they're an Apple user and don't have access to any of these smaller alternative projects that are currently out? manually transcribe that all into a notebook or notes app? just simply not bother and let all of that information and all of their symptom history fade into obscurity from dissociation and amnesia?
honestly, i'm SO glad that some of you are privileged enough to easy keep track of your symptoms yourself, or to have a smaller system with less information about parts that can be easily kept in a notebook or notes app. i'm SO glad that some of you are android users who are able to use some of the current alternatives that are out right now, or are able to push past the buggy aspects of many of these current options. not everyone can fucking do that.
just because these apps "aren't important" for YOUR functionality or YOUR recovery doesn't mean that all systems don't need them. it fucking baffles me that a disabled community can look at its own disability aids made for it and think "nah, no one needs these". you wouldn't say the same thing if you were physically disabled and you personally didn't need a wheelchair, so why the FUCK are we letting the system community spread this mindset?
