The bot has been acting up lately so I think it’s time to give it a rewrite. It handles everything from onboarding, activity rewards, mod commands, auto moderation, etc. and is over 10,000 lines of code.

The hopeful plan is to migrate necessary features, get rid of unnecessary features, use existing third party bots where possible, and move away from prefix commands and start using slash commands.

I intend to use Hikari as it provides a better typed API’s for creating a bot than discord.py and its forks.

What features should we keep? What should we cut? What should we be using to take over features? Would you be willing to help out?

It’s about to be Hacktober so maybe we could make it a community event

Absolutely! Need to add some kind of UI for creating/editing/suggesting new resources

if len(title.split()) <= 3: return "no help 4 you"

I feel like the number of help posts being created is few enough that we could probably enlist the help of an LLM to sanity check titles and suggest better titles
