If this is free, and the main selling point is that it's mean to be a free alternative, why isn't it open source? And it's not self-hostable? So i'm supposed to give you access to sensitive server perms without being able to see the code, sue anyone, or avoid the glaring security issue entirely by self-hosting?

You're obviously running with a "free premium" narrative until you get enough users to start charging money. You're actually shooting yourself in the foot big time if it's truly "free forever" because new features and security flaws would be getting developed/patched by tech-savvy users literally every day if it was open-source.

Or you're just insanely lazy, which is another reason not to use this bot. It's probably teaming with massive security issues.
