i don't have a reddit account so i can't message you there, but i wanted to say thanks for your archive post! it's definitely a lot of information to work through but i'm finding it very useful. all of the misinfo spread on tiktok and other communities makes me sick and it can be reassuring to read about shifting from sources prior to the 2020 popularity spike. :)
thanks! this means a lot to us! we are glad that the archive is being helpful to you!! happy shifting :D

Portuguese and Spanish and Announcements - SHIFTING ARCHIVES #2
 Hello! Welcome to the shifting archives project, we are designed to share content that has been lost or locked in our community, today we would like to bring an update on our archives and its growth! First of all, we would like to say: Thank you for all your support! We are a small team and we have been receiving good support from discord servers and subreddits! Without the mods and users this project would never be possible. We hope that we can share even more content with even more people!
UPDATES
As for our updates, we have been adding more content on the english shifting community, now you can find more than 1200 links that will lead you to different platforms, filled with texts and information! We linked the four main communities and a few books with it!
And now, we added more than 1000 links with contents in portuguese and spanish! Our archives are now available in every main language from our community, but we are looking to expand to others such as French and german.
We are introducing the Archives Checking Program! We know we are a dense project, we can't verify every link or document available in our archives, so we are recruiting helpers to do so! This is a volunteer project for those who want to help us build a better archive. All you need is a google account and some free time to check if a link is working or not! If you are interested you apply on our new official discord!
This discord is nothing fancy and is mostly used for archive working, such as suggestions and volunteering. We still recommend you to join our partners and recommended discords on our bio!

COMING SOON
And for our final announcement, we are creating an “Shifter Influencer Program”. We know that some of the content we offer may fall on shiftok or shift insta with time, so we are planning to redirect this information on their own language to avoid dramas and misinterpretation, while the program in still under development, the idea is to have a direct contact with shifting influences and make partnerships with them, if you know any shiftertokers that follows the conditions of being friendly towards respawning an permashifting and not selling any courses or shifting related products (scripts, notebooks, pens, etc) please drop their link on the commentary section so we can contact them!We have not made a tiktok account yet, but consider following us on instagram!

That is it for today, thanks for reading and happy shifting!Learn - Share - Shift- Lex

being a "anti-shifter" is actually such a weird term, like why are you mad because we refuse to be miserable and actually want to make something out of our lives instead of living the "ugly truth"?

Sharing The Hidden - Shifting Archives #1
INTRO
We are The Shifting Archives, a group dedicated to share knowledge on shifting that has been gatekept and give access to everyone to good shifting information. Today we are starting by bringing links to the first shifting community and its highlighted blogs from 2019 to 2022.
For the ones that dont know, shifting as you practice it, came from amino, DRs, WRs, Most of the methods and scripting came from amino. The first shifters from tiktok are amino users and most core content of shifting that you practice came from amino.
But not any amino.
Respawn/Dr Sub Users, the first shifting amino.
My name is Alula and today I will be telling you a bit about shifting history. This is a repost from reddit, you can read the original in here
TO LEARN
This community existed long before any tiktok videos, the place where shifting realities came to develop. A dense, filled with texts and users that hold the best knowledge out there that borned for shifting.
It was once the center of shifting, the place to learn, where many users created core information on shifting.
In 2020, a mix of events happened in TikTok that caused the creation of shiftok.
As you may know, Shifting when mainstream or talked about with non shifters are usually… messy, that is why the overall community always had this toxic instinct of asking for deleting or changing stuff when shifting is brought to new places and people.
In DRSU, some members posted TikTok videos about shifting, while beginners with intention of helping posted screenshots of community posts to try to explain shifting
At some point, information about respawn ended up on shiftok, and it was heavily misunderstood and taken out of context, a drama would spawn from this. Making a divide between the amino community and tiktok community, essential shifting information would be blocked from flowing to tiktok and the older communities would isolate themselves. With this much misinformation appeared such as "Shifting is a lucid dream", "If you spend too much time in your dr you will be tired", "Permashifting is impossible" and the list goes on.
In a way, this is everyone's fault, veterans wouldn't be interested in explaining and newbies would avoid listening. With the years going by, the division of the communities started to fade, communities made by and for shifters from tiktok would be created on amino, allowing the following of better information, and shifters from reddit, tumblr and discord are experiencing a time of reconstruction on more complex themes, with time the information on shifting would start to reappear.
Today you can still ask to enter almost any amino community by answering some questions and linking a global amino profile.
TO SHARE
Seeing these new events and shifting information starting to be reconstructed from ashes, a experienced group of shifters started the shifting archive, a project dedicated on sharing previously locked or lost informational texts, so all the community may have access to it.
We found that even a locked community can have its texts and users seen by anyone using a link on the web. So i am sharing the DRSU masterlist below this blog among other things, many links that will lead you to amazing texts and content. Some you may have known, some you will not agree. But please, read this content, learn something from it, develop new ideas, shifting as it was may never come back, but it does not mean that it can't evolve or get even better.
To DRSU staff and every other amino staff that may be reading this, we are not a doxxing or plagiarism project, we are more similar to a link tree, making collections of links that will take the reader straight to the original source. We understand that back in the day we all did what was for the better, to preserve the already existent information, sources and shifters. And we also know that holding positions such as leader and modding roles is a big responsibility, we end up by giving part of our own journey so others can experience their own.
For the people who are in the master list, please don't delete your blogs. I know we are doing a controversial move by exploiting this amino bug but please, share what you know, allow others to understand more about what you already do. A community is about helping each other so we can all survive, so please have empathy with the new ones. Some of them might have started on Shiftok but some of us started in sketchy places too.
To users and many others that will adventure themselves in these posts, i recommend you to TRULY go with an open mind, you will interact with heavy topics, shifting isn't the practice you may think it is. The links below do not contain all aspects of shifting and were formulated by the old staff with new members in mind, most of these texts you will already know and some will be new ideas to you, we recommend to not only search by our archive but also to explore the communities within them.
About respawn: even if you don't understand it and call it self hard i really recommend you to READ and to try to understand: There is no shifting without respawn, and once in the past, shifters were called the same thing people call respawn these days.
It is also important to add that some of these posts are made by veterans and non veterans, some contain different mindsets and views, you will find stuff that you already know, but maybe you can get an insight from new perspectives. Most of the master list is 2019-2022 blogs, but we will be linking more stuff with time.
Before sharing, I would like to say thank you to Sunni, Sen, Aurean Lee, Oxy, Vergara, Goat, Blueblemish, Shizuha, Rose, Serenity and many others that made content on shifting in its previous times and created the basics and essential of shifting on amino. May other names from this age appear so we can know our history.
I also would like to thank the DRSU Staff, even if we don't know the answer we will receive from this project., We appreciate your job in our community and keeping everything together for so many years.
TO SHIFT
This bug is more of a feature, amino as an app is dying so they added a feature that allows people from outside to see whatever content is on a locked community, so you can browse everything, even the feed as long as you are not logged in your account and using a browser.
A warning for those who pretend to misuse these resources, do not steal, do not claim as yours, do not profit and do not mock these texts. This is not only essential knowledge but also an important part of our history and culture.
Please, if you share this on TikTok at least link this post so more people can find it, do not claim it as your own.
For the ones that break the conditions of this sharing, know that we are always watching and breaking these rules have a price.
If you desire to help with archiving, send an email to this address [email protected] containing the link, author, title and screenshots or transcriptions of whatever you find. Updates will be posted on reddit, tumbler, discord and our link center!
The doc below also allows commentary, so please share your insights and any corrections needed!
You can also see the feed and profiles on the web browser! We will also be linking a Shifted list from the community!

FINAL
That is it, we will keep adding more links and creating more resources. It is time we change this culture, it is time to learn and shift.
EDIT 01 - We had a real change in our formula, so we decided to re-write and fix the tone of this text, as well as adding updated links.
