Blossoms Together Forever

The main dev of Simply Plural, Amaryllis, announced they would be discontinuing services in a couple months due to wanting to spend more time focusing on their own life and relationships.

In this announcement post, they refer to themselves as a single developer handling everything. This contradicts previous posts where they refer to a team running Simply Plural.

There are also plenty of people expressing that they would help run Simply Plural if Amaryllis wanted a break or to hand over development.

Amaryllis declines to hand over development, citing legal and privacy concerns.

However, Amaryllis has also been promoting Octocon as an alternative, which has a "no privacy" policy written into the TOS.

Octocon also has had several other issues in the past, such as not doing anything about an active predator in their Discord server.

This is on top of the pluralmisia and anti-endo stance that it started with and has only supposedly revoked. I say "supposedly" because people are still reporting getting banned, errors, and other such responses for even mentioning anything that isn't extremely sysmedicalist. One system reported that the app stopped working if they so much as used the term "factive" in an alter's profile.

Yet, despite all this, Amaryllis has apparently been working with the lead dev of Octocon.

Oh, and anyone in their Discord server mentioning the problems with Octocon is getting banned.

In fact, expressing upset about this announcement at all also gets you banned. Or at least, the channels get locked. If you dare use the Discord server about Simply Plural to discuss Simply Plural shutting down, you will be silenced.

This includes asking why Amaryllis started paid subscriptions for Simply Plus (premium Simply Plural) a few months ago despite apparently considering this for a while. Meaning that Amaryllis opened up a new way to give them money all while planning to shut down the app that people were giving them money to run.

Oh, this includes people who paid for a yearly subscription. Now, they are only going to get half a year of those perks. At best.

Naturally, people are wondering where on earth their money is going.

Speaking of money, let's remember that Amaryllis could ask for funds to hire someone to handle the legal concerns.

Oh! And let's also remember that a significant amount of Simply Plural's funding comes from The Plural Association. Some of TPA's plans for the future rely in part on Simply Plural. Those will now have to be changed.

Yet, despite this history and partnership, Amaryllis dropped this information the same day that TPA was hosting a big event. And the testimonies from various people about the event suggest that TPA had no idea about this announcement.

All the while, Amaryllis refuses to make Simply Plural open source so that people can make alternatives. Apparently, they claim this is also a safety concern. Despite not needing to release any user data to make the base code available.

Oh, hey, I almost forgot. Ampersand, another potential alternative, is apparently "good friends" with the developer of Octocon, and is shutting down some blogs, if not the app itself.

Said app wasn't even a viable alternative for large systems or those who use Apple/iOS.

Fun bonus fact to leave off on: the app itself didn't give any warning about this until the day after the announcement. For ~24 hours, the only way to find out that the tool and disability aid that half a million people relied on is going to be discontinued... was to either read the original post or see someone mention it on social media. Which is far from the worst part of all this, but feels like the cherry on top of this dumpster fire, considering how poorly it reflects on Amaryllis's management and announcement of this decision.

TL,DR: Amaryllis announced that Simply Plural will be discontinued, and everything uncovered since then has indicated that they are extremely shady, lied several times, and might have committed fraud or some other kind of legal oopsie-daisy, depending on how the money side of all this shakes out (especially when it comes to TPA). And all while this is coming out, the most action Amaryllis has taken is to silence people in their Discord server and send out a notification that should have been sent out the day prior.

so some of you may have already heard that SimplyPlural is getting discontinued, meaning the creator is simply going to stop working on it for their own sake to focus on life things (absolutely valid), you can read more about it on Apparylis’ post here

i would like to put out there the servers are not instantly getting shut but they will in the future and playing for SP+ makes it still usable, but some of us are brokey and can’t pay for it.

for anyone looking for alternatives, i highly do NOT suggest Octocon, and i have photos of why you shouldn’t that i grabbed from a emoji server:

if yall still wanna use it regardless, go for it but this is here for anyone’s information on it

“ok, so what are the alternatives besides SimplyPlural and Octocon?”

well i did some digging, and it might sound disappointing but this is what i found:

app-wise:

TwiNote, a fake Twitter app where you make “tweets” that are just basically making notes and upon reading reviews a lot of systems/plurals actually use it and from what i gathered multiple accounts can be made on it. not exactly a front-tracking thing like SP was, but can probably be used for logging it. albeit the app wasn’t specifically designed in mind for systems, it can definitely be used as one

your Notes app. yeah i know this sounds kind of odd to put here, but honestly if your storage allows it, internal chatting and logging who fronts who stopped fronting, basically like a personal journal

Discord. despite the age verification releases in the second half of the year (more about that here), there is a bot called Pluralkit you can use and actually use set whoever’s fronting and what not, along with Pluralkit having their own website however on that website you can’t set who’s fronting, you do that via discord. it’s also a great chatting app for anybody to use, and each alter can use “bots” to speak to others, which is really neat. you can put on your status who’s fronting and be able to talk to people.

if people are specifically avoiding discord because of the age verification that’s rolling like. 5 months away , there is also Stoat which has Revoltkit. Stoat is basically 2015 discord, and personally i don’t like it because you have to restart it just to see your profile or status update, and it obviously isn’t the same as discord and has VERY few public servers. there is only one Discoverable server for the plural community. and its boring to use if none of your friends use Stoat often. plus last i heard Revoltkit was down, not sure if thats changed.

Stoats not even an app though, its just a website. its also a platform on Windows, Linux, and Mac.

if not for apps:

System journals! my friends keeps one, they doodle and write in their about what’s going on. if you’re worried about your parents finding it or think you suck keeping track with something physical, honestly pull out the ye olde spreadsheets. /silly or Google Docs. have everyone take a color or emoji, and start writing in there.

more info here and on the official tumblr.

if you’re anti endo but you’re close to us, keep it to yourself. if i talk about being partially endogenic/having a majority of endogenic headmates and you don’t like that, don’t respond. don’t say anything, don’t yell at me, don’t come at me with your hate. it’s one thing to avoid talking to nondisordered systems but its another to take every chance you get to make their lives horrible and make them feel guilty and sad just for existing.

endos are NOT stealing your resources. endos are NOT taking your psychiatrists. endos are NOT taking your spots in the diagnostic waiting list. endos are NOT claiming to have dissociative identity disorder or OSDD1. you know why? because theyre fucking nondisordered and they know it themselves, therefore they have no need to see doctors about a dissociative disorder and trauma that causes their plurality because dissociation and trauma are not what caused it in the first place.

taking away intense emotions the fronter is experiencing mentally (e.i pushing them out of front and letting them handle it) or emotionally (e.i helping the fronter cope with whatever is distressing them.)

managing and storing away emotions by compartmentalizing them or through controlled dissociation.
