  • How long would you say it takes to change your username and pfp on Matrix if you know exactly what you’re doing and have done it plenty of times before? 20 seconds? Pluralkit can do a proxy in 2 seconds. 20 seconds is not an acceptable delay to sending a chat message to most people, but 2 seconds is.

    And what if two members of a system are in a conversation, possibly with a third person? Is it going to retroactively change the username and pfp on the old messages? Cause that would turn the conversation to complete nonsense. Imagine I’m having a discussion with some friends, two of whom are in a system, I step away to go to the toilet, and when I come back 5 minutes later I can’t tell who was talking in the last 5 minutes.










  • Plurality is a lot more common than most people think. The existence of pluralkit exposed a LOT of people to the idea of plurality and got them realising they were already plural. Myself included.

    It’s kind of like how a lot of lesbians didn’t understand their own identities until they heard Katy Perry sing “I kissed a girl”.

    Furthermore, imagine you’re on a server with 500 active members, and there are 5 systems who use pluralkit. That server has probably had the “why are you a bot” “I’m using pluralkit” conversation dozens of times. All 500 people know how important pluralkit is. On Discord, there are dozens of allies for every one system.

    It’s diceless. All characters have access to all abilities, as long as they’re willing to pay the cost. Being good at something just means it has less or no cost. If you take on enough cost and don’t get it down the safe ways, your character permadies.

    This is a reflection of the fact that the player characters are gods of world ending power who can do anything… but it’s hard. Maybe your character can blow up the moon if they so choose. But that’s a lot easier than remembering to eat breakfast every day. That’s right, the gods of the void have (a disability that’s an allegory for) autism and ADHD.
