    gollark: > Slash Commands and Interactions bring something entirely new to the table: the ability to interact with an application without needing a bot user in the guild. As you read through this documentation, you'll see that bot tokens are only referenced as a helpful alternative to doing a client credentials auth flow. Slash Commands do not depend on a bot user in the guild; responding to interactions does not require a bot token.Oh 🐝❗

    gollark: AutoBotRobot still uses the old gateway or something and thus gets all data ever.
    gollark: There is of course absolutely no way they can check.
    gollark: (it's very expensive)
