On top of my previous feedback I believe there is another aspec to consider. There's a reason other than the technical one which is that as per psychiatry, for this source I use the Adult Treatment Guidlines from the ISSTD, I recommend to the lead behind Fluxer to read the "Treatment goals and Outcome" chapter but I will provide an excerpt below.
Integrated Functioning as the Goal of Treatment
Although the DID patient has the subjective experience of having separate
identities, it is important for clinicians to keep in mind that the patient is not a collection of separate people sharing the same body. The DID patient should be seen as a whole adult person, with the identities sharing respon- sibility for daily life. Clinicians working with DID patients generally must hold the whole person (i.e., system of alternate identities) responsible for the behavior of any or all of the constituent identities, even in the presence of amnesia or the sense of lack of control or agency over behavior (see Radden, 1996).
Treatment should move the patient toward better integrated functioning
whenever possible. In the service of gradual integration, the therapist may, at times, acknowledge that the patient experiences the alternate identities as if they were separate. Nevertheless, a fundamental tenet of the psychotherapy of patients with DID is to bring about an increased degree of communication and coordination among the identities. I think this is important because Fluxer should not be encouraging behavior that worsens disorders and mental health issues if it can avoid it. Given that this point was brought up in regards to accessibility for DID/Pluralism I hope that the acknowledged clinical literature can be used to seen the issues with this claim in reality. To summarize it, implementing a feature that promotes the separate identities of alters for the presented reason being accessibility is going against acknowledged psychiatric documentation on treatment of Diassociative Disorders where the treatment goal is integrated functioning. A feature like the one discussed goes against the recommended treatment and worsens the condition of patients. That is something I feel Fluxer should refrain from doing if it can avoid it. The above can be fact checked by any licensed psychiatrist. As well to follow up to the technical points mentioned against my last post, this raises a case against the arguments raised against my point in regards to there being an existing feature that effectively allows the same thing (though not by design) called Community Profiles. There is also the aforementioned UX complications etc. to consider

keep your comments helpful or keep them to yourself. not every plural person is disordered, and "becoming normal" is not the "solution" you think it is for everyone.
