Add some neopronoun roles to Dynobot on the discord server

[Comrade f191]

The important thing about neopronouns is they allow people to exercise their right to self identification. The typical pronouns we use are one for each side of the gender binary (she/her and he/him) and then one set for all the genders that are possible outside of that binary (they/them).

Obviously this doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room for non-binary and gender nonconforming folks. A lot of them don't feel that they/them properly captures who they are while others are concerned with confusing people over the typical plural interpretation of they/them. Another reason too is that some folks come from places where their native language doesn't include gendered pronouns so they're more comfortable using the pronouns of their mother tongue.

Obviously this means that we'll need a fair few roles to pull this off. On this note I'd like to point out a great Discord bot that a lot of LGBTQ Discord servers use for this.

His name is Carl and he's adorable

Among many other things he allows up to 250 custom roles that can be applied via reacting to posts you set up with him. This way we won't have to fuss with Discord's default role system to make this work and we'll be able to add a lot more neopronouns than just 3. Since it's pretty unlikely for us to add 250 neopronouns this also means we'd have a ton of extra space for gimmick roles too : O

There's a lot of good stuff in there, I highly recommend giving it a look.

Carl-Bot would be pretty good for this, yeah. Much simpler to use for both Users & Admins than Dyno too.

In order to edit something, Admins can use a fully-functional GUI located on the website, rather than manually typing a command.

Adding a message for users to react to for a role is simple, all that's needed is a channel for the bot to post said messages, and roles for the bot to assign. Then you simply go on the website, select the server, scroll down to "Reaction Roles" and then click "Create New Reaction Role", from that point on its fairly self-explanatory what each box does.

If at some point you want to edit this message, a simple example would be:

Code:

!rr edit DiscordMessageIDHere Content of the edited message here

For Users, they simply have to reply with the corresponding reaction and the bot adds the role, rather then typing out a full command.
