just a min away

[alpine furnace]

So he’s great and all but makes bad tutorials and uses bad practices

[sick birch]

Someone wrote a massive gist of everything that was wrong with one of his tutorials. It was on the d.py server but I can't find it

https://gist.github.com/wasi-master/835adfeec4802423f6a1522c25689010 never mind found it

[alpine furnace]

You can use an infinite loop

While true:
    Asyncio.sleep(15*60)
    Send message

Thanks robin

[proven pendant]

tysm!

[sick birch]

Or the tasks extension. It was made for this specific purpose

[gaunt ice]

lmfao

[sick birch]

We had a good laugh about that one back on d.py

[gaunt ice]

lol

who do u suggest

for dpy tutorials

[sick birch]

The documentation

I find tutorials to be inherently flawed in their core concept

[gaunt ice]

hmm

[sick birch]

Often times you'll be copying down what someone says which doesn't help your problem solving skills, making you more and more dependant on said tutorials

[gaunt ice]

true

[alpine furnace]

Oh right, that’s new isn’t it

[sick birch]

Rather try to solve problems yourself without searching for a tutorial. Referring to the documentation and asking others for help is fine

[boreal ravine]

yes

[sick birch]

If all these tutorials didn't encourage using JSON as a database most beginners wouldn't even see it as a option. They would instead ask "what's the best way to store data for my economy bot", we'd respond "a database" and overtime using a database would be the de-facto, just how it should be

But anyway that's more for #pedagogy i suppose

[maiden fable]

Sometimes I feel like spamming Lucas's comments

[alpine furnace]

Okay, part 1 seems very nitpicky about his coding style and doesn’t actually say anything, also, like, what are you supposed to do if your tutorial is outdated. Not his fault, imo, maybe a disclaimer in the description 🤷‍♂️ either way, that’s kind of irrelevant

Going to see the rest

[sick birch]

Well that's what I meant by tutorials are inherently flawed

[alpine furnace]

Misleading to beginners that don’t know the version of the package they’re using, I guess

It’s also more of a problem with videos, you’re right

[sick birch]

In general, exactly

[alpine furnace]

High seo with outdated tooling

[sick birch]

Unfortunate but that just seems to be what most beginners were doing. I wish there was a video up on the algorithm where if you searched "discord bot python tutorial" it would pop up with something like "why most python discord bot tutorials are bad" or something along those lines. too much to ask I suppose

https://gist.github.com/wasi-master/835adfeec4802423f6a1522c25689010 already had 2 issues today from part 10 in the gist

Lol

[sick birch]

Who?

[boreal ravine]

wasi-master

[sick birch]

Chill guy. Knew him on d.py

Pretty well known in the community, wouldn't say he's a stranger

[alpine furnace]

Noice

[slate swan]

i have question this is would work or i need it to do in other way or something or need make changes. sorry for asking question like that but i think i need to ask question like this. the first command .```
messageCount = {}

@bot.event
async def on_message(ctx):
author = str(ctx.author)
if author in messageCount:
messageCount[author] += 1
else:
messageCount[author] = 1

await bot.process_commands(ctx)

@bot.command()
async def messages(ctx: commands.Context, *, user: discord.User=None):
"""Aby zobaczyć, ile wiadomości wysyła użytkownik"""
user = user or ctx.author
msg = messageCount.get(str(user))
if msg:
await ctx.send(f"{user} wysłał lącznie {msg} ")
else:
await ctx.send(f"{user} nie wysłał jeszcze żadnej wiadomości") Second command @bot.event
async def add_points(ctx, users, user, pts):
users[user.id]['points'] += pts
@bot.command(pass_context = True)
async def give(ctx, member, amount):
with open('users.json', 'r') as f:
users = json.load(f)
await add_points(users, member, amount)
with open('users.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump('users', 'f')
await ctx.send(f'given {member} {amount} programming points') ```

[velvet tinsel]

well it depends on what you want it to do

[alpine furnace]

Lol wtf is this

[velvet tinsel]

wdym?

[alpine furnace]

.

[velvet tinsel]

💀

I used to watch him

[cunning ice]

is it possible to make a discord bot that tells when a person is online even if he is invisible ?????

[slate swan]

i just want make command that counts message from users and second command that adds points

[glacial echo]

is there an discord.py alternative that still has message_intent abilities?

since im making a bot for like only my servers i just want the option of grabbing all message content and actually using it

[alpine furnace]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#intents

🤷‍♂️ it’s on latest, by the way

[glacial echo]

meh

all my motivation for wokring on this bot is gone tbh since there isnt proper easy support for the type of message_content im trying to use

[drowsy thunder]

Ahhh

[glacial echo]

message intents

message content intent*

ok but slash commands arent useful for this

i need to get the info in a message to determine how many poinst a word is worth in the game

like slash commands ok sure i could deal with that it would just take learning them

but i cant seem to get the plain contents of a message

yes im aware

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

[glacial echo]

discord.py doesnt seem to have a way to get it

[glacial echo]

thats what this is

@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author != client.user:
    await message.channel.send(f"{message.content} sent by {message.author}")

it only gets the message.content now if you mention the bot or use an interaction or DM it

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

i have this?

[quick gust]

message content intent isn't even forced yet

make sure u have it enabled

[slate swan]

Never heard of that module before lmao

[boreal ravine]

nice

[glacial echo]

yeah ok i did that

but still doesnt have a message.content

i did

[slate swan]

So ur telling me if u need to enable intents you don’t need to open the dev portal?

[glacial echo]

message intents code enabled

y e s

[slate swan]

O yea I read the line wrong mb

@glacial echo 100% all intents enabled from dev?

[glacial echo]

yes

i did

oh

still nothing

import discord

uh

ah i forgot the presence and member ones

you are a goddamn angel

you have made my stuff work again

thank you sooooo much

[slate swan]

W

What was problem even I only saw first half

[glacial echo]

discord.py changed between 1.7.3 and 2.0.0a to needing special bs to ge message_content

and my game bot heavily relies on message_content

[formal basin]

Why doesn’t this work it’s giving anyone the role

It’s giving people with no default avatar

[honest shoal]

show the whole code

[formal basin]

Ok

Then what does it do?

[slate swan]

Member.default_avatar is something that always exists
Instead you should check if user does not have an actual avatar

if not member.avatar:
   ...``` to be exact

!d discord.Member.avatar it's None if the avatar or user is a default one

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.avatar "discord.User.avatar")

[formal basin]

Wait so if a member has a default avatar it will do something

[slate swan]

Not anylonger, it's change in discord.py 2.0

[rocky trench]

It will..

[slate swan]

What do you understand by typing.Optional? Xd

[rocky trench]

It does still work in dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the avatar the user has.

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar "discord.User.display_avatar").

[slate swan]

yea the developer was high while writing this.

[rocky trench]

I feel like I was a little out of context

[slate swan]

how?

they want to check if the user has default avatar or not? And that's literally the only way

[rocky trench]

I thought u said it wasn't possible to get avatar like this. I just saw ur message that it returns None

[slate swan]

oh oki

[formal basin]

LETS GO IT WORKS

[slate swan]

Great

[formal basin]

I was just building a security bot

[slate swan]

Just use created time it’s more accurate

Oh hmm so checking suspicious accounts without an Avatar

I mean like if date is within like 15d or something

[formal basin]

Yes because spam raid account have no avatar

[formal basin]

How?

[formal basin]

And also it blocks raid bots

[slate swan]

Member.created_at gives you the datetime object of the time when the user created that account

you can subtract it with datetime.datetime.now() to get the account age

[formal basin]

Hey is there a way to make it so the bot can remove a role

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

await remove_roles(*roles, reason=None, atomic=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the removed [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[maiden fable]

I see someone doesn't like reptiles anymore 👀 (BCC: @slate swan)

[formal basin]

Yeah but I want the event to when the member gets a role e.g the member gets the role and then I want it to take a role off them

[formal basin]

Yeah but I want the event to when the member gets a role e.g the member gets the role and then I want it to take a role off them

[slate swan]

you can use the on_member_update event

[maiden fable]

@slate swan u also bought nitro

[slate swan]

and see what roles were added

[slate swan]

someone gifted me

[maiden fable]

Same thing

[slate swan]

how did i bought that then

[formal basin]

Oh ok

[formal basin]

What does this mean?

The error

[oak warren]

this means you have not read the docs

simple

[formal basin]

I have.

[oak warren]

not

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• nickname

• roles

• pending...

[oak warren]

i dont see the same thing in your code

[formal basin]

on_member_role_update I’m using this

[slate swan]

https://replit.com/@zagzag990

[formal basin]

How do you know?

[slate swan]

its in your webserver's url bar

[slate swan]

it takes 2 args , before and after
which are discord.Member objects

[slate swan]

It says on weburl

[formal basin]

Oh

[pliant ocean]

'Context' object has no attribute 'member'

can anyone help why i am getting this error

[pulsar stream]

ctx.author not ctx.member

ctx.member doesn't exist, ctx.author is what you want

[pliant ocean]

@client.command(help='Gives Warm Hugs')
async def Hug(ctx):
await ctx.reply(f"gives a warm hug to {ctx.member.mention}")

this is my command

[pulsar stream]

this is my answer

[pliant ocean]

um when i do ctx.author it tags me but i want it to tag the member i mentioned can you help me how

[pulsar stream]

take a second parameter in your function

called member

and add a discord.Member typehint to it. i.e member: discord.Member

then do member.mention

[pliant ocean]

alright

thank you

[pulsar stream]

then run the command like !Hug @someone. it won't work if you don't mention

[pliant ocean]

alr

[quick gust]

Pretty sure it will work if it's a valid ID/username in the server

!hug 830328082724290611
or
!hug Sven77 should work

[pulsar stream]

yeah

oh wait I didn't say that, sorry mb

I mean like if he does only !Hug then it won't work

[quick gust]

ah

[vast gale]

uwu hi

[slate swan]

So I got a txt file of white list users but I want to make it so if user id in txt command works else await message.send(“your not whitelisted”)

[pliant ocean]

@client.command(help='Av sven')
async def Griff(ctx):
user_id = "905068632801943563"

await ctx.reply(f"<@{user_id}>" 'url')

when i am mentioning the user it works correctly but the link is also visible along with the image

in the url

how can i make the link not show and just the image

[slate swan]

Is the url defined

[pliant ocean]

yeah

[slate swan]

So u just want image sent not link

Correct?

[maiden fable]

Ouh Wasi here 👀

[slate swan]

Hi hunter

[maiden fable]

Hi alex

[pliant ocean]

basically i dont want the link that is being shown

[vast gale]

@maiden fable im here too

[maiden fable]

Hi arl

[vast gale]

your solution is either to

• upload file
• use embed
• do not include the mention to the user, and have no content

hunter will continue to explain since imma go sleep cya

[slate swan]

how to do

await ctx.send(random.choice(number) + "/10")

[maiden fable]

Uhh, the honors is all yours

[maiden fable]

await ctx.send(str(random.choice(number)) + "/10")

[vast gale]

nop imma sleep bai

have fun!! :catpat:

[maiden fable]

Don't go

[vast gale]

i will watch your career from afar and with great interest

[maiden fable]

Meh, I am going

[pliant ocean]

im using replit

[maiden fable]

Cool

[pliant ocean]

so i dont think i can upload a picture there

[maiden fable]

You can

[vast gale]

great so i won't be missing much

[hot sparrow]

how to get message content from a message id and channel id?

[maiden fable]

Just like u upload from pc lol

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

await fetch_message(id, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[vast gale]

!d discord.Client.get_partial_messageable

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_partial\_messageable

get_partial_messageable(id, *, type=None)```
Returns a partial messageable with the given channel ID.

This is useful if you have a channel\_id but don’t want to do an API call to send messages to it.

New in version 2.0.

[maiden fable]

Just come back here. Why is everyone watching me going to hell, from afar today?

[hot sparrow]

[maiden fable]

Hahahaha

Good night then!

[heavy folio]

how bout read the file and then pass it into the file kwarg?

[vast gale]

should work

but that's uploading the file 😛

[maiden fable]

😔 Go sleep arl

how to check if bot has permissions to send messages in a channel
im using this in a loop so dont give me command code

[slate swan]

if guild.me.guild_permissions.send_messages:
  #Do something```

[slate swan]

ill try it, thanks

[slate swan]

\👍

[slate swan]

solve pls

🥲

[slate swan]

are you sure that wasn't your real username and password?

[maiden fable]

😔

[slate swan]

my pass is secret i dunno wanna reveal

[slate swan]

can i do with channel tho

thats why

that just looks like its only for guild

[slate swan]

for channel there is different

can u show me

[slate swan]

it is not discord bot related

[slate swan]

yes it is i wanna make custom prefix without json so i use database

[slate swan]

oh idk about databases

[slate swan]

that has nothing to do with discord bots

[slate swan]

I am searching discord docs

I think you can't do it

[slate swan]

I got bot command that I only want certain user ids to work for what should I do I was thinking txt file would work

[maiden fable]

Sure

[slate swan]

ye you can use txt

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  
  username = message.author.display_name
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    blacklist = f.read()
    if message.author.bot:
      return
    elif msg.lower() in blacklist:
      await message.delete()```

My buddy made this for deleting blacklisted words

But I’m sure you could change to user id form

!user.id

wdym?

@slate swan what if i try to send a message in the channel, will i get an error if it doesnt have permissions to send?

[slate swan]

yup

you can use try except block there

yess

thats perfect

\👍

bot has higher rate limit quote than the normal user

[slate swan]

theres like a hundred channels in my server tho

[maiden fable]

does it? 👀

[slate swan]

and ill be using this in multiple servers

[slate swan]

Ye

[slate swan]

no prob

[maiden fable]

okay if u say so lol

[slate swan]

It shows error at end you need to turn intents on

how to check if i have @ everyone permissions @slate swan

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    blacklist = f.read()
    if user.id:
      return
    elif user.id in whitelist:
      await ctx.send(“not whitelisted”)``` would this work for white list

[slate swan]

if guild.me.guild_permissions.mention_everyone:
  #Do something```

[slate swan]

why you want to do?

[slate swan]

When user does command it checks if user id is in txt if not the bot sends message your not white listed

[tidal hawk]

You can unindent the below blacklist = f.read()

How are the ids formated inside the txt file?

[slate swan]

userid1
Userid2
Userid3

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    whitelist = f.read()
  if user.id in whitelist:
    return
  else:
    await ctx.send("not whitelisted")```

Ok thanks

\👍

[slate swan]

hey you are right i put wrong name

[slate swan]

\👍

[tidal hawk]

Not sure if it would make difference, but I'd create a list by the whitelist.txt

[slate swan]

of database

[slate swan]

\👍

[slate swan]

but a new error comes

[tidal hawk]

Where every element is split by (\n)

[slate swan]

whats it?

🥲

which line shows the error?

[slate swan]

idk here is all error

hmm line 69

Does the error show as soon as you start the program?

and 207

[slate swan]

yes

Send line 207 and lines near it of your bot

[slate swan]

bot.loop.run_until_complete(create_db_pool())

can you send more code?

nearby lines too

async def create_db_pool():
    bot.db = await asyncpg.create_pool(database="guilds",user = "postgres", password = "")
    print("Db added successfully")

here create_db_pool

ah

whats asyncpg?

asyncpg postgres database

Ok

it shows asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError which means the operation is being cancelled some way

hmm

async def create_db_pool():
    print(1)
    bot.db = await asyncpg.create_pool(database="guilds",user = "postgres", password = "")
    print(2)
    print("Db added successfully")```Use this code and check if 1 is printed or not

[slate swan]

ok

you need to run the bot

[slate swan]

You havent added token too

do you have an on_message event?

[slate swan]

if there isnt a run method, what will the token do

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    whitelist = f.read()
  if message.author.id in whitelist:
    return
  else:
    await ctx.send("not whitelisted")```Do this

[slate swan]

1 printed but 2 have error

Client.run(“token”)

[slate swan]

so error in the bot.db line

Ok

Does it show error?

[supple thorn]

Isn't that gonna spam everytime when someone messages and they aren't in the txt file

[slate swan]

ye but he asked so thats why

does it show logged in as bot?

[supple thorn]

Also is the msg even gonna be used

Or is it just there forgotten

[slate swan]

k

discord is installed tho

is the bot even in your guild?

[slate swan]

LOL this thing really doesn’t like you

mhmm convert it into string

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    whitelist = f.read()
  if str(message.author.id) in whitelist:
    return
  else:
    await message.channel.send("not whitelisted")```

wait

[slate swan]

@slate swan

Kk

[tidal hawk]

Broo convert it into a list

[slate swan]

is it really a bot?

[tidal hawk]

whitelisted_ids = whitelist.split('\n')

[slate swan]

does the bot come online when you do start it

[slate swan]

you can use in function in strings too

[tidal hawk]

yeah but it's awkward

[slate swan]

mhmm bot has permissions?

mhmm invite me to the server

and send the bot token in DM

let me test myself

[leaden jasper]

is that allowed

[slate swan]

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print(f"{bot.user} is online")



@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content
  with open('whitelist.txt', 'r') as f:
    whitelist = f.read()
  if str(message.author.id) in whitelist:
    return
  else:
    await ctx.send("not whitelisted")

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
  await ctx.send("working")```

Whitelist.txt 
875711009606729808
875711009606729804

@slate swan not working

[slate swan]

for testing yes

[slate swan]

whats the error and what you wanna do?

[slate swan]

show your whitelist txt?

[latent anchor]

whats this for

[slate swan]

oh nvm wait

[leaden jasper]

I dont think you should always read the file on on_message events

[slate swan]

It’s user id checking but no error

[slate swan]

you should use readlines instead or split that text

he can do .read() as he is searching the string

[slate swan]

My user ids in txt file are like:

875711009606729808
875711009606729808

[maiden fable]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

whats the problem that is happening with it?

[slate swan]

yeah though, readlines splits the text every line and returns a list

[slate swan]

Bot isn’t replying to command

[leaden jasper]

@slate swan whitelist is a string
875711009606729808\n875711009606729808
make it a list
[875711009606729808,875711009606729808]

[slate swan]

because the id is in list

[slate swan]

But will not reply to those whose IDs are in the list

[maiden fable]

@slate swan if u want to add a global check, look into bot.check

[slate swan]

Ok

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

Example...

[slate swan]

That’s the opposite I want it to do

the problem is nothing

[leaden jasper]

how about you install the packages 1 at a time

to find the faulty package

how about installing discord first

[slate swan]

according to the command the bot will say "Not whitelisted" to those whose ids are not in the file

[leaden jasper]

maybe

[slate swan]

Ok

@slate swan but it’s not sending message would on_message be reason?

[leaden jasper]

buttons are for 2.0

ur using version 1.7.3

in ur requirements.txt

[slate swan]

which message? the "Not whitelisted" one?

Wym

https://vcokltfre.dev/

and your library's documentation

[leaden jasper]

discord.gg/dpy

its in beta btw

[empty quest]

is discord.py better than discord.js? which is better in which case?

[leaden jasper]

Both in practical use are the same man but discord.js has more of the new stuff already in it

[slate swan]

discord.js allows you to receive audio back
js is also preferred to make apis and api calls

[boreal ravine]

no

[maiden fable]

The simple thing: Dpy is preferred if u use Python, elif use djs if u use JS

[hot sedge]

hello

[boreal ravine]

or eris

i heard some big bots use it

[maiden fable]

what's that

[manic wing]

use discii

with absolutely no resuming and no ratelimiting, discii is much superior

[boreal ravine]

https://github.com/abalabahaha/eris

[maiden fable]

Ah JS

Thought it was in Python lol

[empty quest]

are discord bots allowed to store all the messages we type in a database? surely that has to be against tos?

[untold oriole]

Hey is there a way to purge all the messages sent by the user in a server, like !purge 5 <user_handle> would go to each channel that the user has messaged and then delete 5 of their last message

[slate swan]

depends on why you want to store them

[slate swan]

well, you can do it, but it may ratelimit your bot, you may need to run a task

[empty quest]

why would it be allowed?

[slate swan]

idk, maybe chatbot and stuff

[untold oriole]

oh like how

[maiden fable]

Also you cannot delete messages more than 2 weeks old*

[maiden fable]

Yes, but u gotta delete it every 30 days

[slate swan]

well yeah, discord's TOS not uwu 😔

[maiden fable]

My bot saves some part of the message, and discord doesn't have an issue with it

[maiden fable]

Not discord ToS, an API limitation

[slate swan]

huh, no?

you can, I've tried it

[maiden fable]

How tf do u think not being able to delete messages more than 2 weeks old is a ToS issue?

[untold oriole]

Yea thats fine, this is just so that if the user spams and then we detect it, it would help us delete all the spammed messages easily

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Ah

[slate swan]

well, I did think, my bad

[maiden fable]

If u wanna make an anti spam 👇 👇

[empty quest]

is there a way to store info using the discord API?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[empty quest]

what i had in mind is writing to a txt file every time a user sends a message

[maiden fable]

Just request it and, uhhh, save it to a db?

[untold oriole]

what does this do??

[maiden fable]

Makes an anti spam totally not doing free paid work

[maiden fable]

😔 Rip yr txt file

[untold oriole]

lol

where is the documentation for it?

or is it not in the stable version?

[hushed galleon]

there's the TextChannel.purge() method you can use to delete their messages, or if you're banning them then you could delete their messages in that method instead

CooldownMapping is undocumented so you'll need to read the source for more info on that

[untold oriole]

Oh I see

[boreal ravine]

sure

[untold oriole]

But purge doesnt delete user specific, so ive to make a list of all the msg and then use channel.delete_messages ig?

[boreal ravine]

Add a check if you want it to be user-specific

[hushed galleon]

you can pass a check function to purge and return a condition

oh its even listed as an example in the documentation for purge

[untold oriole]

oh wow

So I should go into each channel and THEN check for the user message right

[hushed galleon]

if you automate purging every channel that can lead to excessive api calls

are you making an automated system for detecting spam? or just watching out for it manually

if its the former, you could temporarily keep track of messages and then when they exceed your threshold, you know exactly which messages to delete and the channels they're in

?

[slate swan]

dpy version?

[south jetty]

no disnake

[supple thorn]

Member.display_avatar

iirc

[south jetty]

ok works

[supple thorn]

Coolio

[maiden fable]

Oh, I misread it as Member is None

[untold oriole]

automated system

[maiden fable]

May your bot rest in peace

[slate swan]

is there a way to avoid that

[maiden fable]

Stop using replit

[slate swan]

then what should I use

@maiden fable

[slate swan]

a virtual private server

what is that

[maiden fable]

An online computer which runs 24/7

(I'm the worst at explaining things, I'mma leave it to Shi Tsu to explain)

[sacred phoenix]

guys please did someone face this issue ?

[odd prawn]

Unless repl.it has started making erroneous calls to whatever it's connecting to since I've gotten back into the loop, I don't see how a change in platform would impact a 429 error.

[odd prawn]

This channel specifically isn't the place for this.
Instead, you can get assistance for this via one of the help channels.
#❓｜how-to-get-help

[hushed galleon]

then storing sent messages from on_message would be the most preferable way to do it, rather than scanning all the channels

[slate swan]

bots generally get ratelimited faster on replit, ive tried doing that

[slate swan]

I really cant ig, I just came back from a 104f fever

better if you would do the honours

[heavy hound]

basically its replit + uptime robot battle pass

you use vsc + vps

[slate swan]

nooooo, replit is not a vps

[heavy hound]

yeah ik

[slate swan]

does it work on mobil

[heavy hound]

no

[slate swan]

and using replit and uptime robot is bad for discord bots

[heavy hound]

for mobile i suggest you to use self hosting

i broke i cant do self hosting and vps so i use replit

mometn

[heavy hound]

yes high ping and slow responses

[slate swan]

and, the api ratelimiting issue

[heavy hound]

what is that

[maiden fable]

Ouch, take care

[supple thorn]

It's when you spam too much api calls

In simple terms

[maiden fable]

Never got a high ping on replit

[slate swan]

you too thankee

[heavy hound]

oeh

[supple thorn]

Yeah about to say that too

Replit hosted bots usually have 40ms ping

[slate swan]

flexes 0 ping on replit

[supple thorn]

When i host my bot on my vps it's usually 80ms now

[untold oriole]

i c

[supple thorn]

It's twice the usual ping but it is in miliseconds

[heavy hound]

what

imma try my ms

[slate swan]

mhm, ive only got twice or thrice lol

[supple thorn]

Or vps there's really good vps hosting for cheap if you look hard enough in reddit

[heavy hound]

average 43 ms

!d discord.AuditLogDiff

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogDiff

class discord.AuditLogDiff```
Represents an audit log “change” object. A change object has dynamic attributes that depend on the type of action being done. Certain actions map to certain attributes being set.

Note that accessing an attribute that does not match the specified action will lead to an attribute error.

To get a list of attributes that have been set, you can iterate over them. To see a list of all possible attributes that could be set based on the action being done, check the documentation for [`AuditLogAction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AuditLogAction "discord.AuditLogAction"), otherwise check the documentation below for all attributes that are possible.

iter(diff) Returns an iterator over (attribute, value) tuple of this diff.

This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the guild.

You must have the [`manage_guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_guild "discord.Permissions.manage_guild") permission to edit the guild.

Changed in version 1.4: The rules\_channel and public\_updates\_channel keyword-only parameters were added.

Changed in version 2.0: The discovery\_splash and community keyword-only parameters were added.

Changed in version 2.0: The newly updated guild is returned...

[hushed galleon]

use the vanity_code= kwarg

[formal basin]

How do I define?

I’m learning json

[sweet geyser]

?

Its called dictionaries in python

[hushed galleon]

you're using the minus operators - instead of assignments =

[formal basin]

Oh

[flat solstice]

Does someone mind taking a look at this code for me because for some reason my slash command isn't being registered but i'm not getting any errors when I run the bot.

This is my main.py file https://paste.pythondiscord.com/exigeyerol
This is my cogs.users.py file https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oqunuxobul
This is my utils.services.py file https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ofuyehohul

[slate swan]

well......dont use globals

use a wait_for

[supple thorn]

Why do you have a try and except

If the deletion failed you should get an error

But because of you using try and except

It's eating up the error

The deletion didn't fail or there was no error?

[light violet]

how do i define vanity code

[supple thorn]

Because of the except

Why do you even have a try and except

Just remove it

[empty quest]

Is there a way to play music in a vc using a bot coded in discord.py?

[supple thorn]

You should get an error after

I'll let someone else deal with this since im gonna sleep

[flat solstice]

because of thispy try: await mess.delete() except: passif it errors your passing on the error (ignoring it)

[fluid spindle]

And never just use except. Always try to catch a specific error rather than only except

[supple thorn]

Yes as i have said

[flat solstice]

yeah i was just clarifying it as it seemed they were getting confused

[fluid spindle]

What are you trying to do here exactly?

And where did mess come from?

[light violet]

how do i define before guild vanity

[vale wing]

If you are using globals, the global keyword must be inside of the function

[light violet]

pls help me

[vale wing]

And yeah don't use bare except, catch discord.HTTPException instead

[vale wing]

What

[light violet]

how to i remove a particular segment of letters from the message

[vale wing]

Use string functions I guess

[light violet]

give me ex pls like on message bot would reply in last few letters

[vale wing]

We don't make complete code here

[light violet]

teach me how to do it

[vale wing]

What is your python experience level

[light violet]

nothin almost and dont tell me to learn now

i am in hurry actually

[vale wing]

https://vcokltfre.dev

[light violet]

i know py btw incomplete

[light violet]

dont want just teach me to edit a particular segment in a word

[light violet]

i just want the vanity code of a guild only code

how do i define that cant find it in docs

[flat solstice]

When making dpy 2.0 app commands is the syntax thispy @app_commands.command() @app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=default_guild)) async def tree(interaction: discord.Interaction): bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=interaction.guild_id)) await interaction.response.send_message(f'Synced the tree.', ephemeral=True)or thispy @app_commands.AppCommand() @app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=default_guild)) async def tree(interaction: discord.Interaction): bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=interaction.guild_id)) await interaction.response.send_message(f'Synced the tree.', ephemeral=True)

!d discord.Guild.vanity_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.vanity\_invite

await vanity_invite()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Returns the guild’s special vanity invite.

The guild must have `VANITY_URL` in [`features`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.features "discord.Guild.features").

You must have the [`manage_guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_guild "discord.Permissions.manage_guild") permission to use this as well.

[hushed galleon]

according to the gist https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6, neither of those
writing a slash command would look like this ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import app_commands

client = discord.Client(...) # or commands.Bot
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)

@tree.command()
async def add(interaction, x: float, y: float):
await interaction.response.send_message(x + y)```

[boreal ravine]

why are they even syncing the slash commands inside of the slash command

[vale wing]

!d str.replace

[unkempt canyon]

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[vale wing]

Ig you need to make mess global

Should work and you may also wrap await mess.delete into try-except in case mess is not defined yet or failed to delete

Use it

But not bare

[boreal ravine]

why is there a tip on basic math lol

[vale sierra]

hello, i try to make reddit code (https://paste.pythondiscord.com/monafokaxa). I have two commands +redditmeme and +reddithistorymeme but +redditmeme send a (sometimes) history meme and meme. Same for +reddithistorymeme. This two commands conflit each other. How can i fix this pls ?

[final iron]

What do you mean conflict with each other

[vale sierra]

i'm gonna use pics bc idk how to explain

[vale sierra]

look thats my problem

[final iron]

Still don't get it

[hushed galleon]

the problem being that the word "memes" is in your link? or that it should be looking from the HistoryMemes subreddit?

[vale sierra]

the commands should be a r/historymemes not a r/memes

[vale sierra]

that should be looking from the HistoryMemes subreddit yes exactly

[ornate linden]

does stopping a task just stop it from looping or does it stop immediately

[hushed galleon]

you mean the task loop's stop() method?

[ornate linden]

yes

[ornate linden]

ah

thanks

[vale sierra]

its not an embed ?

[ornate linden]

pretty sure that's an embed

[vale sierra]

its a embed just without color i think

[hushed galleon]

well youd want to design your commands such that they reference their own lists of memes

[vale sierra]

yes

[unkempt canyon]

str

class str(object='')``````py

class str(object=b'', encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')```
Return a [string](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#textseq) version of *object*. If *object* is not provided, returns the empty string. Otherwise, the behavior of `str()` depends on whether *encoding* or *errors* is given, as follows.

If neither *encoding* nor *errors* is given, `str(object)` returns [`object.__str__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__str__ "object.__str__"), which is the “informal” or nicely printable string representation of *object*. For string objects, this is the string itself. If *object* does not have a [`__str__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__str__ "object.__str__") method, then [`str()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") falls back to returning [`repr(object)`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#repr "repr").

[quick gust]

it is an embed

[ornate linden]

set it to the same color as the embed

[quick gust]

^

[hushed galleon]

so this is not fully related to discord.py since you're struggling with the reddit part

[ornate linden]

try swapping to light theme and i bet you'll be able to see it

[quick gust]

same colour as the embed bg colour

[ornate linden]

if you don't supply a color what is it by default?

or is it a required field

ah

[vale sierra]

its a code for discord.py so

anyway, did someone know how to lock a server without lock private channels ?

Returns the channel-specific overwrites for a member or a role.

[jolly basalt]

How do I make slash commands

[vale sierra]

thanks

[jolly basalt]

discord.py

[boreal ravine]

the embed color would appear as grey/black for them

[jolly basalt]

not disnake, nextcord etc.

[junior verge]

How do I do this in repl.it since .env does not work anymore

[boreal ravine]

one question: how experienced are you with python?

[vale wing]

Seems like module error wtf

[junior verge]

Just decent I'd say

[verbal fox]

think i fized it

[junior verge]

should it be ()

[vale wing]

You forgot a closing "

[jolly basalt]

tyyy

[boreal ravine]

doesn't look like it though, you tried to do [] on a method

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6#slash-commands-and-context-menu-commands you need to use the master branch tho

[vale wing]

Is it a method

[slate swan]

os.environ returns a dict

[junior verge]

Where? huh

[vale wing]

I remember there's getenv that is a method, but that thing is a dict isn't it

[jolly basalt]

so btw, should I move to nextcord or disnake

[boreal ravine]

not what i was talking about

[vale wing]

"my_secret

[boreal ravine]

they did ```py
client.run['my_secret']

[vale wing]

O

[junior verge]

Yeah

Should it be ('my_secret')

just my_secret did not work

[boreal ravine]

no

[slate swan]

if you want to make them easily consider using a fork
since the slash commands implementation in discord.py is very complex

for a fork, ill suggest disnake

[boreal ravine]

use the variable you made and put it inside client.run's arguments

[slate swan]

ah, didnt notice that

the error had something similar so..

[junior verge]

In the run?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[jolly basalt]

ty, cuz ive been considering it

[junior verge]

Didn't I already do that? sorry

my_secret = os.environ['CODE']
``` This is fine, right?

[wicked lily]

or just

do this

client.run('id')

very easy

[junior verge]

Yeah but I am in replit so everything is public if you get me

[wicked lily]

i am also using replit

[junior verge]

client.run('my_secret')
``` that did not work

[wicked lily]

for everything but it is private

[junior verge]

Hm, how?

[wicked lily]

string

put it in a string

[junior verge]

Like that

[wicked lily]

just directly put the id

[junior verge]

Yeah but it's public?

Isn't it in replit?

[wicked lily]

what?

[wicked lily]

yes but mine is private

[junior verge]

How? Paid or?

[wicked lily]

public is paid

right

oops

it is public

[junior verge]

Got this now

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".")
my_secret = os.environ['CODE']

@client.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    client.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@client.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs/'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
            client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

client.run(my_secret)

[junior verge]

No... private is paid

[wicked lily]

yes

[wicked lily]

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ".")

@client.command()

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs/'):
if filename.endswith('.py'):
client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')

client.run('code')

try this

[junior verge]

Yeah lol

[slim ibex]

don't name a bot instance client

[junior verge]

Tried his code, what he send me

Oh oki

Okay

But that's the error I still am getting

Wait...

I refreshed the page and it looked really weird haha

Think it works, but got a normal error now

[leaden jasper]

lag thats all

[junior verge]

No mate

It works already what are you saying?

Just got a other error

I am using that, no clue what you are saying

[quick gust]

whats with the random '). and u dont put the token since my_secret is already your token

[haughty quartz]

anyone knows how I tell ppl they gotta reinvite the bot if they don't have the application.commands scope??

[junior verge]

No... it's just lag

But it works now I guess, just a error in some of the cogs I assume

[quick gust]

and, it tells u how to fix, in the error

[quick gust]

replit things

[junior verge]

erm

How to fix, uh?

[quick gust]

u have to install it through the package manager i think

not sure how because I don't use replit

[leaden umbra]

noob question: if I have a userid and an array of roleids to grant it, what is the command to do so? Also to get an array of the userid's current roles if possible

[junior verge]

Still doesnt work :/

@wicked lily You use replit right?

@slate swan got any clue?

[minor totem]

You're running it in the Python REPL, not the shell.

There might be two tabs, I don't fully remember. If there isn't, then you might be more-or-less unable to install pymongo.

[leaden plaza]

Type this command in shell

[boreal ravine]

you mean the methods

[leaden umbra]

I'm super noob at discord bots

[brittle axle]

go to shell and type that command man

[tame nymph]

bruh I cannot even see my bot token anymore

it says I can only view it once

and I need 2FA codes every time I regenerate

[leaden umbra]

ok thanks I think I get it

[kindred drum]

how do you get the quote symbol in an embed?

this

[whole shoal]

Just type >>>

[kindred drum]

explain 😄

s

[whole shoal]

I think they should

Not embeds but the

quote

[slate swan]

@command()
async def uwu(ctx):
  await ctx.send("> uwu quote")

[whole shoal]

No no inside an embed

[slate swan]

oh nvm didnt read that

[whole shoal]

Need to test xD

[slate swan]

is that even possible though?

[whole shoal]

h

[hushed galleon]

replit should already autoinstall just by scanning your file imports, and also the async lib motor should be used instead of pymongo to avoid blocking the bot

[kindred drum]

this wont work i think

[hushed galleon]

the decorator is incomplete but otherwise that is how you'd display quoted text

works inside embed description too

[vale sierra]

its for a member or a role, not for private channels ?

[hushed galleon]

it is surprisingly flexible

[kindred drum]

how do i format an embed like this

https://gyazo.com/25217e53d6754583904967e7b5ee4782

[vale sierra]

use \n

[kindred drum]

\n?

[hushed galleon]

that looks like its using the embed's description

[kindred drum]

its not

[hushed galleon]

can you show the full embed?

[kindred drum]

thats a field

https://gyazo.com/7925f043925077cfb1fb9cb3fb5601fd

[hushed galleon]

i said the full embed

[vale sierra]

@kindred drum read the doc about embed

[hushed galleon]

but even if its in field value there's not much that changes about what you write

[kindred drum]

how would I format the fields like that tho

like its a list

its not the description tho?

[hushed galleon]

yeah thatd be the text

just use add_field then

[vale sierra]

if its not the description just do add_field

[final iron]

Better discord smh

[hushed galleon]

nah powercord

[kindred drum]

How would I do it in add_field

[vale sierra]

someone know the code about lock a whole server not just one channel pls ?

[kindred drum]

cause like I don't get the multiple lines in 1 thing

                        ">something"
                        "something" 
                        value="test")
``` that doesn't work

[vale sierra]

what is this?

embed.add_field(name = "", value = "", inline=True)

[kindred drum]

wow I did not know you could have multiple lines in an embed

[cold sonnet]

....

[vale sierra]

just do \n

[kindred drum]

i also forgot about that

[vale sierra]

read the doc

someone know the code about lock a whole server not just one channel pls ?

[cold sonnet]

know the code?....

[vale sierra]

like all the channels is lock nobody can talk

i read it but couldn't find lol

[cold sonnet]

that's a damn lot of API calls

[tidal hawk]

What listener detects boosts?

[hushed galleon]

the most preferable way to do that is to edit the send_messages permission of the role that everyone has
(edit: was corrected after this, listening for on_member_update() and checking .premium_since should work)

but that relies on people having organized permissions

[pliant gulch]

You could just edit the guild's default role's permission

The hierarchy would cause an issue if the user has a role above default with send messages

In that case either way, perhaps it is a staff role or something?

[hushed galleon]

there is no dedicated listener for this, you can only listen for a system message whose .type equals MessageType.premium_guild_subscription

which only works if the server settings has a system channel the bot can see and has boost messages enabled

[cold sonnet]

doesn't it show up in the audit log

[vale sierra]

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def lock(self, ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel=None, setting=None):
        if setting == '--serveur':
            for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
                await channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, reason=f"{ctx.author.name} a fermé {channel.name} avec --serveur", send_messages =False)
            await ctx.send("Serveur fermé.")
        if channel is None:
            channel = ctx.message.channel
        await channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, reason=f"{ctx.author.name} a fermé {channel.name}", send_messages =False)
        await ctx.send("Salon fermé.")
``` i make this code but the problem is to close the whole server we need to close a channel before, and that's not what I want

[cold sonnet]

or a guild update event that triggers boosts

[pliant gulch]

Yea guild update get's dispatched on boosts, that would probably be easier than to just check message

[vale sierra]

but the problem its(is?) this i have to choose a channel before

[cold sonnet]

huh then why is it in the docs

[hushed galleon]

oh actually yeah good point

[cold sonnet]

oh this an AuditLogAction

[cold sonnet]

what a lucky guess

[vale sierra]

idk and its annoying i don't see the reason

[pliant gulch]

There is also on_member_edit which can be dispatched by roles

[cold sonnet]

how do you get an AuditLogAction event

[pliant gulch]

Different detection, but you would need to use another method of checking whether or not it is a nitro boost role

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.AuditLogEntry

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogEntry

class discord.AuditLogEntry(*, users, data, guild)```
Represents an Audit Log entry.

You retrieve these via [`Guild.audit_logs()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.audit_logs "discord.Guild.audit_logs").

x == y Checks if two entries are equal.

x != y Checks if two entries are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the entry’s hash.

Changed in version 1.7: Audit log entries are now comparable and hashable.

[cold sonnet]

ah this

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.Role.is_premium_subscriber

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.is\_premium\_subscriber

is_premium_subscriber()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.10)"): Whether the role is the premium subscriber, AKA “boost”, role for the guild.

New in version 1.6.

[cold sonnet]

what would you rather use to detect if a member's roles changed

[pliant gulch]

on_member_update

[cold sonnet]

on_member_update event or AuditLogEntry

[unkempt canyon]

Not in a million years.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[cold sonnet]

or what's the event that gets AuditLogEntry

[pliant gulch]

member_update, because it's from the gateway

It's an event, where as AuditLogEntry will need you to fetch the audit logs first

[cold sonnet]

ew

[unkempt canyon]

discord

To work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: discordpy.discord, disnake.discord

[vale sierra]

yes that's work just have to fix the bot bc he send "salon fermé" (= close channel)

[cold sonnet]

it does have a premium_since one

attribute, not method

what does it return if member ain't a booster

False?

None?

[junior verge]

Still get this error even though I did pip install in shell

[cunning ice]

is it possible to make a bot which shows read and unread msgs ?

[maiden fable]

👀 I see someone doesn't like reptiles anymore

[cunning ice]

hii bro

[cunning ice]

any suggestions ?

[hushed galleon]

@junior verge

[maiden fable]

read and unread as in?

Phew, I was already scared of yr banner

[junior verge]

So how will I fix it? I don't get it, sorry.

[hushed galleon]

just import it and replit should handle installing the package for you

[manic wing]

no

all messages are “read”

read and unread are only on user clients

[cunning ice]

XDD

[junior verge]

I did man

And then it still gives the same error

[slate swan]

which library?

[junior verge]

pymongo

[slate swan]

whats the issue?

[hushed galleon]

you might need to try editing the pyproject.toml file to specify the proper version of the library to install then

also motor...

[junior verge]

What is that?

I just moved my files from visual studio code to replit

[hushed galleon]

the async lib motor should be used instead of pymongo to avoid blocking the bot

[junior verge]

How do I?

[slate swan]

if you really want to manually install the libraries, just use repl shell to use pip

[junior verge]

I just did and still gives me that error

[maiden fable]

It lags most of the times and then repl crashes

[slate swan]

show a screenshot of your imports

or try reloading the page once and then do so

[slate swan]

never happened to me

[maiden fable]

Has happened with me a few times now tbh

[outer sigil]

my bot goes offline for like 5 minutes everyday but it doesn't crash it just boots back after

[maiden fable]

Sad

[quick gust]

replit or something?

[maiden fable]

Where u hosting the bot?

[outer sigil]

replit

[quick gust]

there u go

[outer sigil]

it's a replit thing ig

[quick gust]

it is

[outer sigil]

if you don't want to host it on replit you can use another computer

raspberry pis apparently works well

[trail oxide]

Hi, how can I make sure that the ones I blacklist from my bot do not have to be a part of a discord server the bot is also in?

[whole shoal]

Don't use replit for hosting bots 💀

[high apex]

i do that

[trail oxide]

Hi, how can I make sure that the ones I blacklist from my bot do not have to be a part of a discord server the bot is also in?

Source:

@Client.command()
async def blacklist(ctx, user: discord.Member):
    Client.blacklisted.append(user.id)
    data = read_json("blacklist")
    data["Blacklisted"].append(user.id)
    write_json(data, "blacklist")
    await ctx.send(f"Hej, {user.name} er nu blevet blacklisted")```

[whole shoal]

It would be better if you find another host, there are some free hosts across discord

[trail oxide]

can someone help me, pls

[slate swan]

sure

[high apex]

replit is my preferred option

[trail oxide]

@slate swan with this

[whole shoal]

Replit has shared ips, meaning if any bot being hosted there gets banned ur bot will get banned too

[high apex]

oh

replit changes ip every few hours

[whole shoal]

Yes it's better to find another host

[high apex]

ok

[trail oxide]

Hi, how can I make sure that the ones I blacklist from my bot do not have to be a part of a discord server the bot is also in?

    await ctx.send(f"Hej, {user.name} er nu blevet blacklisted")```

[boreal ravine]

What do you mean by "do not"

[whole shoal]
