So, recently I joined (and left) and server pepper invited me to, it was full of her friends and stuff, It was okay for the most part but she had one friend who said they had DID. I wouldn't have a problem if that was all, but I'm afraid that pepper actually believes them, note that the reason there's a problem with her thinking this is Because this person DOES NOT have DID, they portray having things like fictives and having very easy switches but that's not how that works, should I tell pepper her friend is faking DID?

I think you should say you're concerned that her friend is faking DID, and tell her the reasons why. Tricking people into thinking you have anything you don't have is wrong. I do think expressing your concerns would be a good thing.

I feel like you should say something to pepper about it but if you do don’t be too harsh. Try to explain that it is wrong to say you have a condition when you don’t to just get attention, be special etc
But do keep in mind it is his/her friend so just go slowly about it and if he/she starts getting angry, don’t say anything else. No one really likes “harsh” things being said about their friends so do be careful. -
I also think it’s important to not invalidate other people’s disorders/etc. You’re not a psychologist, you don’t know whether they truly have it or not. Even if you really believe they don’t, it’s not polite to say they don’t.
There have been people even on this site that claim to have this and that and the first thing people did was accept them and gave them an okay, even after knowing they weren’t officially diagnosed with whatever they claimed to have.
