Does Mumble have an equivalent to PluralKit? PK is one of the biggest things keeping me and my friends on discord atm
what's PluralKit?
tbh, Mumble pretty much just does voice chat and only voice chat, and just focuses on doing it well.
It's a bot that allows multiple people sharing an account to appear as though they each had their own pfp and username, using webhooks. It's mostly used by plural systems, which are groups of people who live in the same head. You assign a proxy to each member, which might be something like prefacing your message with a certain emoji, and whenever you type a message using that proxy (prefacing with that emoji), PluralKit deletes your account's message and gets a webhook with a name and pfp of your choice to re-send the message. The bot makes it way easier to talk to a plural system and know who's speaking.
