PluralKit

undefined:

PluralKit is a Discord bot designed for members of systems to be able to express themselves. It allows each member of the system to have a unique name and avatar, as headmates often share a single Discord account.

When this is done, a bot tag appears next to their name, because of the way Discord and webhooks work. This is called proxying.

History
The first commit in the PluralKit GitHub repository was made on July 11, 2018. This first version was written in the Python programming language, and it was later re-written from scratch in C# using the Discord.Net library, with the first commit landing on April 19, 2019. Later, the library was ditched in favor of DSharpPlus, with the official commit on April 17 2020, which in turn was ditched for Myriad, a custom library specifically designed for PluralKit. Its name takes after the bot's mascot.

During the year 2020, it grew from 15,000 servers to 82,000 servers, a growth rate of 540%. It also went from 16,000 to 69,000 registered systems, and 166,000 to 919,000 members of those systems.
