pluralkit ( n.)

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.[1] This first version was written in the Python programming language, and it was later re-written from scratch in C#, with the first commit landing on April 19, 2019.[2]

During the year 2020, it grew from 15,000 servers to 82,000 servers, a growth rate of 540%.[3] It also went from 16,000 to 69,000 registered systems, and 166,000 to 919,000 members of those systems.
