    This bot detects messages with certain tags associated with a profile, then replaces that message under a “pseudo-account” of that profile using webhooks. This is useful for multiple people sharing one body (aka “systems”), people who wish to roleplay as different characters without having several accounts, or anyone else who may want to post messages as a different person from the same account.

    Yeah, that seems incredibly niche. Never heard or thought of necessity of it.
