The traditional way to do this is with multiple accounts – use [email plus addressing](https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.html) to sign up as multiple users, and you can also use your [browser accounts feature](https://www.pcworld.com/article/2089364/how-to-create-and-manage-multiple-user-profiles-in-chrome.html) to have multiple sets of cookies / identities per browser.

Where are the target conversations? Chat? What software?

Long term we had talked about forwarding long email chains into Discourse, and having it automatically create a topic and stage all the users, but we keep pushing that back. cc @zogstrip
