We have years of frustration pent up in that essay with how some spaces are run and the introduction a lot of people get to plurality being the way it is there.
We are DEEPLY salty about people sending pluralpedia to newbies instead of like morethanone.info or literally any other basic resource. Its for term archival work and is NOT a basic dictionary. Just 100% yeah, you help people understand the basics before you hand them an advanced dictionary.
Also glad you like our 'Am I plural' list! It genuinely got made because we got tired of copypasting the same list of things over and over and over due to no one resoruce to link already existing (...most of our documents are for that reason) when people leave questions places like reddit/tumblr/etc.
And YEAH, its only ever 'dissociative disorder is never the answer!' or 'dissociative disorder is the ONLY answer' on a lot of questioning resources that are actual examples of experiences so it makes it hard.
The focus on experience is something we REALLY think would be more helpful than the term lists. A Lot of people have different ideas of what words mean, so the only way we can communicate is by being *specific* about what we mean. Talking about experience also helps people understand and relate. If different kinds of systems talked more freely about their experiences maybe we would all see that we arent so different after all lol.
