PluralKit

PluralKit is a Discord bot meant for plural communities. It has features like message proxying through webhooks, switch tracking, system and member profiles, and more.

PluralKit has a Discord server for support and discussion: https://discord.gg/PczBt78

Running the bot requires Python (specifically version 3.6) and PostgreSQL.

Configuring the bot is done through environment variables.
