    @interactions.slash_command(name="help")
    async def help(self, ctx: interactions.SlashContext):
        print(ctx.user.id)
        print(ctx.author.id)
        print(ctx.author_id)

prints out:

it seems like... all of them are correct. 🤷

ctx.user is just the global user, whereas ctx.author can include per-server user info if this slash command is run in a server

#

examples include per-server avatar under ctx.author.display_avatar and the server object under ctx.author.guild
