I believe this is temporary, to help users to move to/discover slash commands before the message content intent enforcement (where a lot of bots will not be able to support text commands anymore) |

They're trying to move away from prefixes and text commands, this is to make users who still aren't using slash commands see that they exist. |

As we know discord rolled out a new update where messages starting from
.
,-
,?
etc also show matching slash commands, For e.g.?ping
will show all the/ping
commands matching for that guild.In my opinion, we can take it even further and allow bots to tell discord their prefix. This can be global and per-guild just as slash commands. This means if I set my bot's prefix to
k!
, upon typingk!ping
I will be shown the/ping
command for my bot only.To better explain this, here is a screenshot:

This will solve the big issue of "all bots have same prefix" and of course make it easier for users to run commands. For e.g. all moderation bots have a
mute
command, so/mute
can show multiple results. But imagine a moderation bot with prefixm$
.m$mute
will only show that particulars bot's commands.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
