I'm building a bot for managing class servers. It has 16 commands and counting, two of which are enabled for general use (non-admins). In its current form, the common user's slash command list is covered with disabled commands that even the server owner would rarely have to use. Things like /invite-campaign, which posts a message to every class channel, don't need to be displayed to every user.
Displaying a disabled command makes sense in some contexts, but for a bot like mine or carl-bot, where there are a huge amount of rarely used commands dedicated to administrative configuration, having a huge list of unusable commands just gets in the way of the usability of all slash commands of all bots on that server. What's worse is that the down arrow (which we all know discord power users will be relying on to find slash commands) actually focuses disabled commands, making the discovery of usable commands take much longer than it should for the common user.
We haven't seen it yet, but my guess is it would take a single bot like carl-bot to bring in its massive list of unusable commands to kill any user's motivation to actually read through the list and see what they can do.
