Plurality Intergration

Izumi Midoriya
Heya discord devs/anyone reading this, i have an idea to propose that'd be extremely useful, if you're interested, keep reading! So, plurality is a thing and exists, it would be *really* nice to have native intergration for our headmates/alters/(whatever term you use), since we're a plural system and commonly use discord as a way of communication. And sure, PluralKit and Tupperbox exists, but they aren't in every server and personally I'd like to be able to talk as myself without having to create a new account, same thing goes for our other sysmates! This would probably go in accessibility as it's meant to aid systems who wish to use it! This feature would also be good for people who commonly roleplay, as it would allow you to create members with a pfp and a name! And as a system we don't see anything wrong with it as they won't be harming anyone with it! Last thing i wanna mention, no-one would be forced to use it as a system. If you don't wish to use it, that's fine! No-one can force you to do it if you want to! But this is meant to be a suggestion to help people who *would* want to use something like this. Sure not everyone would use it, but that's fine and there's no issue with that! It'd just be really convenient for us and plenty of other systems

    Seconded! I think plural integration would be a great feature to add. And especially since it's an opt-in feature, the people who wouldn't want to use it wouldn't have to. As a sort of side-suggestion: maybe making two checkboxes, one that says 'this is for plural use', and the other that says 'this is for roleplay proxying'? That way users can know right away without having to ask whether or not the user is a system or a roleplayer.

    Some people get really fired up about the thought of adding plural integration to Discord, but I think it would help greatly with normalizing plurality and raising awareness, which would be good for our community! :)

    Agreed! Bringing awareness is actually really important in my opinion too aha, since it'd allow more people to adjust/learn about it!

    And for security reasons I think a proxy account could be linked back to the owner of the proxy. This could be rolled out as a role permission feature as well to minimize early abuse of this proxy system

    Agreed. As a coder, though I've never worked on Discord, I imagine this as a type of subaccount; changing name, icon, status, roles, etc, but inherently linked to the "main" or "base" account as its parent; an option to even have that in the nickname (e.g. subname | basename) or details could be very useful. Any unspecified areas of a new subaccount could take on the main as default. As a member of the community, I think the ability to mark roleplay vs systemhood would be very important; we get far too many people assuming that systems are roleplaying when we are not, resulting in gatekeeping of bots such as pluralkit and tupperbox to avoid confusion and mocking. I also agree that regardless of design, being able to link these accounts back to the main will be very important for mods. For roleplaying, simply to control the player, and for systemhood, due to the concept of "system responsibility"; that a whole system shares responsibility for the actions of its members. This helps avoid mindreading attempts, in-system identity theft, and other issues. 

    To measure the popularity of this, simply watch how quickly PluralKit is growing in number of servers it works for, and know that systems frequently use it for nearly every single message they send. This would be much more efficient if that work was integrated instead of by bot, and could be pushed more clientside than serverside. (Also, we could finally stop having "bot" tags and being treated as inhuman because of that). 

     

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Another thought I had the other day (but I couldn't remember how to get to this page lol, so decided to wait for someone else to comment and get an email) was that this would make it so the feature would never go down anymore. Sometimes bots crash/go offline, which can interrupt conversations on tens of thousands of servers, even if it's only down for just two minutes. As of this comment, PK is in 192,343 servers. When we first started using the bot, it was only in maybe 60 or 70,000. It's clear that this is becoming a highly necessary tool. We've even seen the bot used in servers where Plurality is absolutely not the purpose (nor roleplay). So devs, please consider making Discord the first major platform to integrate plural-friendly tools. <3

    Also, for some systems having  multiple accounts, have it linkable to certain accounts only from the main (or first) account it was linked to
