Help us convince Discord to support the plural community

Hey folks! Discord is currently considering integrating functions such as proxying in order to support plural folks, who currently have to rely on bots to communicate as ourselves. We just need to convince them that there’s a demand for this. We have a plan for that, outlined in a message from our friend @alaneiii which I’ll copy/paste below. Please consider helping us out with this, thank you

Hey everyone!! This is a long message, but please read.

There is currently an effort to have Discord integrate features aimed at helping the plural community (think what PluralKit does with proxies) into discord itself! It’s being seriously considered, but it won’t be an automatic add and they need to know there’s a demand/widespread desire for it.

What is being asked here is for people - systems, singlets, anyone - to show their support and desire for this. Their email is support@discordapp.com, their twitter is @discord, and the direct support line is linked below. It’s all right here, so please consider sending them a message!

We want to ask them to consider integrating functions aimed at the plural community, such as proxying!

That’s the main idea and is the most important part, but other ideas you can include involve: By doing something simple to support the plural community, they give systems a platform where they can express themselves - something rare, and not seen when it comes to purposefully helping systems. If they do this, they can be the first large group to take such a significant step, they can provide real help that matters to many people, and they’ll get to support a large community that already uses discord a great deal - as well as attracting new members.

It would be incredible to have happen, and if it did happen, systems could have so many more options open to them, things that just aren’t optional when using bots like PK.

Also, please consider passing the message along! You can copy paste this message yourself. Send to servers, friends, post it wherever you spend your time - get it out there, and let’s see if this can happen!
