gollark: Slash commands. It's a Discord feature which exists.
gollark: > Global commands are cached for 1 hour. That means that new global commands will fan out slowly across all guilds, and will be guaranteed to be updated in an hour.That isn't inconvenient at all.
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 🐝❗
