[ruestep]

Ok, so...

No simplyplural (shuts down in june)

No octocon (shuts down in 2 weeks)

No ampersand (undergoing a change in ownership; major device limitations)

No writelighthouse 2.0 (in development)

No pluralconnect (supposed security issues, very early development)

No concordia (in development)

Now what? Here's some names I've heard tossed around:

Antar (private)

Anytype (private unless shared)

Carrd (public)

Fortelling (private unless shared)

Google Docs (private unless shared; generative ai integration)

Google Sheets (private unless shared; very compact information)

HiveMind (private; app-breaking bugs soon to be fixed)

Intendi Garden (privacy uncertain)

LibreOffice (private)

Masquerade (stoat bot; no imports)

Microsoft Office (private unless shared; generative ai integration)

Mystagram (private)

Neocities (public)

Notes app (privacy varies depending on platform)

Notion (private unless shared; heavy AI integration)

Obsidian (private; heavily customizable)

Oceans Symphony (privacy uncertain; still in alpha)

Pluralkit (discord bot)

Pluralkit XYZ (public; requires pluralkit)

PluralSpace (private unless shared)

Pronouns.CC (public and/or private)

Tupperbox (discord bot)

TwiNote (private)

WriteLighthouse 1.0 (private; sign-ups open?)

I may update this list if or when I find more, but as of now I need to focus on our own system.

Remember to take care and breathe. This has been a very stressful month for systems/plurals. Please remember that you can always step away and come back when you're ready.

It's ok to be scared, upset, uncertain. Thing's will get better; things will get easier. /g

About Ourcana: After an entire day of back-and-forths with various people, I've decided to remove Ourcana and its disclaimer from the list entirely. If you are curious, do your own research. I cannot appease everyone, especially when I am being fed apparent lies alongside real screenshots. I do not wish to spread possible misinformation. I also do not want to support people who harm others. No matter what I believe in this situation, someone will be upset. Someone will be harmed. We are one person on an account with two followers. This is clearly not a responsibility we were prepared to handle. Thank you for understanding.

just thought i’d let you know that oceans symphony was/is vibecoded, if you take that into account when you’re recommending something :)

i’m not meaning to sound snarky, sorry if it comes off that way!! i just mean this informatively

Genuinely, what does this mean? I've never heard the term "vibecoded". /gq

“System apps don’t need public features! Just tell people who’s fronting!” You obviously know nothing about systems that are still in crisis

[million-with-a-b]

Reblog if you are a safe place for people who used to identify as endogenic/tulpas before realizing they were either a) a DID/OSDD system or b) not a system at all

im trying to see something

[ruestep]

Hello I just figured you should know one of the people talked about in this post is on the devteam for hivemind. I admittedly do not know the entire situation as I don't use twitter myself, however this person is very pro paraphile in a very anti recovery way from what the screenshots suggest.

TW for mentions of incest and generally disturbing things

https://www.tumblr.com/infernalis-crypture/811451892489158656/well-guess-who-wont-be-using-hivemind-anymore-i?source=share

I haven't been able to find anything connecting Ghost to HiveMind. I tracked down the Twitter thread in the screenshots you've sent me, but there they only refer to doll as "not the main creator perhaps but affiliated enough to be asking to be contacted for bug fixes".

HiveMind's discord server is currently unavailable to the public from the look of things. Whether Ghost remains on the development team is uncertain, but it is very possible to use the app without supporting the creators, as they function through optional donations.

This is someone who absolutely needs therapy. However, whether they truly as connected to HiveMind as the screenshots make it seem is something that I cannot verify.

[ruestep]

i saw the "nazi joke" and if youre calling it that it mustve gotten taken out of context or something lol . it wasnt a nazi joke at All. i think who you got that from is just looking to stir more shit up with misinformation

We were given the context of it being a ''Nazi joke'' before receiving the screenshots themselves, which I'm sure skewed our perception as we didn't get the entirety of the conversation, just (some of) what Heni had said.

After a month of dealing with SimplyPlural and Octocon shutting down, being posted to r/syscringe again, and various real-life issues we'd grown used to being given (verifiable) terrible news. Of course that doesn't excuse taking things at such face-value, but it (along with the sudden influx of attention from over a hundred strangers on the internet) made for an unfortunate mix of panic and confusion.

Along with the "Nazi joke" was an anonymous ask claiming Heni was sending death threats to a developer of another app--an ask which I believe is still up. So, I can't help but agree with the idea a lot of the information I was fed on Ourcana were either lies or heavily misinterpreted comments.

It's a shame. I do believe Ourcana is a great tool (having tried it for a short period of time before my Tumblr exploded), and I would've loved to have it on the list. Now, though, I just want as much distance from the topic as possible.

[ruestep]

hiiiii im here to clarify some things. Ourcana is actually private (https://ourcana.space/privacy, its two lines, it collects nothing) but there are plans to add decentralisation akin to plural host in near future

Thank you. As of now Ourcana has been removed from the list entirely, to avoid further spreading of potential misinformation. If it is to be re-added I will make sure to correct this mistake. /g

[lighthouseharbor]

there's also Ourcana to give a try to.

[roguevexvoid]

So far we've liked HiveMind the best as far as set up and features

[ruestep]

HiveMind is wonderful. Unfortunately, the current version is prone to app-breaking bugs. For us specifically, the Windows version cannot be opened again once it is closed. It must be re-installed every time. Thankfully, the developers plan to patch these bugs immediately come the next update.

I've added Ourcana to the list of alternatives with the disclaimer you've provided, as it may be the most accessible alternative for some systems/plurals despite the developers' despicable views. Thank you for the warning, and thank you waystopstation for the suggestion.

[roguevexvoid]

Let me know if you want the screen shots about the Ourcana thing

[ruestep]

Yes, please. I will add them to the post. Thank you! /g

[roguevexvoid]

Do you have a preference for sending them privately, there's a number of other user comments in the screen caps and I don't want to blast anyone unnecessarily

[ruestep]

Whatever is most comfortable for you. /g

[ruestep]

ourcana devs were the ones commenting death threats and stuff on concordias posts b4 being blocked also (via multiple witnesses)

Does anyone have screenshots of this or the supposed Nazi jokes made by the developers/moderators? I would like to add them to the list of SimplyPlural/Octocon alternatives as a warning if so. /g Update: check comments.

[ruestep]

The reaction to our SimplyPlural/Octocon alternatives list has been overwhelming. Thank you for the support. I'll be sure to keep it updated to the best of our ability.

If anyone has any links to Anytime information, i'd like to see it. I cant seem to find anything on it.

[ruestep]

The app name is Anytype. Apologies for the typo. It is a notes app, similar to Notion and Obsidian.

[did-ing-another-mother]

Notion more fits the private unless shared. You can make your space a “team space” which will allow it to be shared across emails. It can also technically be public, even on the free side of the app. Due to Notion allowing websites to be made through it, even if it’s much better as a private notebook with the free version, though it’s clearly meant for companies when looking in the pricing section.

[ruestep]

I've updated Notion's privacy note.

I believe the Stoat bot you're thinking of may be Titan. I've added it to the list.

Thank you!

I will consider making a sort of... guide for alters and proxies. I am hesitant at the idea of putting more than the bare minimum information. It is uncomfortable to me, the idea that strangers could gain extensive information on our system. I will return with my conclusion when (if) I decide.
