        We’re very nervous about anything that claims or wants to index the fediverse. Which is what we thought this was wanting to do at least in part, but reading through we aren’t sure if it does or not want to do that or will.

              I don’t follow. You’ve referred to yourself as “I” several times recently. I’m not trying to antagonize; but rather understand. Is a plural pronoun something you can set aside when necessary? Are all pronouns interchangeable at will?

              I am genuinely curious as I know very little of how it all works aside from the basics.

                Oh, well we can explain that.

                Firstly it depends on if all of us are saying something or think a certain thing or just one of us.

                Secondly if you’re referring to our post history it was a mixture of that and not wanting to be out here but we’ve had enough of hiding what/who we are recently and now it feels wrong to do that so we decided to be more ‘public’ about it.

                Does that help?

                In reponse to your edit.

                This is nothing to do with DID and we aren’t roleplaying.

                We likely have been plural longer than you have been alive and before things like tiktok existed too (which we aren’t even on), so we do know what we are and don’t appreciate the accusation that you having likely no experience with this know our experience better than we do.

                Also medical science does show this is a real thing but outside of DID and other such things it has not been researched.

                So neither you nor ‘science’ knows what you/it is talking about.

                If you can’t handle the shocking reality of someone choosing unusual pronouns to refer to themselves, fediverse may not be the social media for you.

                You’re welcome to have your own beliefs.

                You are not, however, welcome to use those beliefs to invalidate someone else’s lived experience.
