Question for plural folks, feedback needed 
Assume a chat system that allows you to have multiple accounts, and which also allows you to select a 'presented identity' on a per-message basis (under an otherwise shared account that is identifiable as such).
Does this meet your needs, and if not, what other accommodations are needed to make it a comfortable experience for you?
(Please only answer if you consider yourself plural or have some other reason for presenting as multiple identities. Boosts are welcome from anyone!)

@joepie91 personally I would prefer a time/session based system for indicating alter, but other than that, that sounds good. (by session based I basically mean something like, it's assumed it's the previous alter writing unless otherwise specified)

@ink As there would be a distinction between the protocol level and the clients implementing it, I'm thinking of approaching that like so:
The protocol level allows including the 'speaker' with each message. The client is responsible for sending along that tag, and exposing a sensible mechanism (like 'sessions') to let the user control it.
If no tag is specified, the speaker will be the default/fallback identity for the account, which in a plural setup would be eg. an account representing the system/collective/etc. as a whole.
Would that be sufficient?

@joepie91 yeah I think so
