I made a group for littles and hosts. The group is for people with DID who have child alts, AND it is also for those without DID who feel they have littles. Some people who don't have alts have a part of their personality that is sometimes somewhat divided and clearly defined that they refer to as a little. I have welcomed them, also, but expect there may not be as many of them. For those with DID, the host and the lil alts are welcome to come and chat amongst themselves.

Hi white_iris! Nice name. I just made it on the psychcentral groups. I made it this morning, so there's not much there, yet, but hopefully there will be as soon as people start joining and posting. Here is the link if you're interested. I know I should go ahead and post something, but I'm kind of nervous. I've not talked about this on a public forum before.

Hi Locust,

I think it is a wonderful idea to have a littles and hosts group. I have a question. Will it be a private group? Will you have any guidelines to help keep folks safe? I ask because littles tend to be very vulnerable. And you never know who is lurking or posting in forums like these.

I have encountered some very bad experiences in similar type forums, so I learned to be extremely cautious about what I share and what I expose my others to--especially my littles.

Hi flutterby!

I am glad you like the idea.

I'm really sorry you had bad experiences on similar groups. I understand why you want to keep your littles safe. Also, I'm sure that this is a personal subject to many people.

I don't have the group set to private at the moment, but I was considering that this morning, and might go ahead and do that. I know it's always a relief to me when I can join a group without waiting or fear of rejection, BUT on the other hand, it is always a dissapointment if I get there and there is a lot of harassment, trolls, etc. I want everyone to feel safe on this group.

So far, some people have already joined, BUT I think those individuals are okay. I know some of them, and all have posted what I would consider "safe" comments so far. There are 7. I am definitely open to suggestions on improving the group, including ways to keep people safe and I can set the group to private right now, but how do you suggest I determine who gets in? Should we say everyone can join and I will approve all, BUT once they step outside the guidelines they are in danger of being banned? What would make you feel welcome, but safe at the same time?

As for guidelines, I will try to post some. What do you suggest? Obviously, we should try to keep things fairly kid friendly. I will post questions on the group asking the members thus far what guidelines they would like to see, and you can feel free to post suggestions here or pm them, etc. I'd love to have you on the group and will try to set some boundaries there to keep you safe. Thanks for helping me improve things.

Locust

UPDATE: I changed the group to moderated. Everyone is welcome, as long as they play nice. Baddies will have to leave. I have two simple rules up at the moment. 1. Play Nice and 2. Hosts must keep chat, little-friendly.
