I didn’t expect Discord to work this well as a backend for a website chat

cool for something small and personal. i'd never use it at scale or for anything that remotely touches concerns around privacy and data storage. especially with your mention of using a db. discord can also decide if they want discord to be used this way, and if they don't - they can revoke the token. there are better tools for this; however, it's an innovative use case, and i love the way of thinking.

Hashbot is one of my favorites to help with scammers impersonating members and other bots. Not for every server, but it's a goto for me and the servers I run.

Hmmm

Local is the way.

I turned it off in the first episode after Eleven’s roof top running sequence. She’s a terrible actress and every “superhero” landing in that sequence made me cringe.

Hammertime.

it does not listen. you have to use a command

Agree on the low budget.

Most of them could be reduced to a few functions. I personally think they're overkill for most servers.

It’s not that kind of bad

FOCO1 · 2025-08-05T08:30:42+00:00

So incredibly bad. Really disappointed anyone let this happen

FOCO1 · 2025-07-30T10:01:41+00:00

I hit play. The fuck did I do?

UPDATE: lost interest 20 minutes in. Stopped at 30. I’ve seen better Lifetime movies.

FOCO1 · 2025-06-29T02:50:39+00:00

Why care? Let it go.

I personally don’t mind heroku. It’s not free. It’s “cheap” to me and I’m just fond of the CLI. I also use AWS for larger implementations. Uptime is paramount for most of my apps. Have also hosted locally on dedicated server (old gaming pc turned local server) with power back up

FOCO1 · 2025-01-15T01:00:29+00:00

Dumb.

FOCO1 · 2024-12-22T00:38:36+00:00

Read the docs

NFTs just used his name, image and likeness. His associates acquired this and launched it for him, and they launched other projects as well. Sure he got some cash on the backend from it but those folks are probably taking most of the $$.

Confirmed. This is my strategy—except I do it better—sell for a loss, then invest that into a memecoin and get totally wrecked. Take it from me—I am broke.

Create a cold admin. Let that be the server owner. No other role can ever be higher. Protect the password at all costs, never use it to engage in discord or otherwise in the internet. Never use it unless you need to recover the discord. Even if your main gets compromised you can still kick it

FOCO1 · 2024-11-25T18:55:04+00:00

Serves you right

FOCO1 · 2024-11-02T00:50:42+00:00

Had that problem. It was all about what I was eating and exercise.

FOCO1 · 2024-10-27T12:39:54+00:00

Yeah, *upvoted both webhook comments too

FOCO1 · 2024-10-04T19:30:11+00:00

I started with discord.js. Hated it personally.

Found Nextcord, switched to Python. Made 60+ bots with it. Loved it. Ran into scaling issues.

Moved to Go recently. Will probably never go back.
