Discord API “soft-ban” for Selfbot? It can only read its own messages

-
9

So today, all of a sudden, my Discord Selfbot stopped working. It has been running for weeks without any issue. All it does is monitoring the bot alerts from other channels and notify me if certain conditions are met.

Basically the problem is that when I print(message.content) I get empty string, and when I print(message.embeds) I get an empty list. This happens for any message that isn't sent by myself. Basically I can pull any message from any channel, but if it's not sent by me, I will see it empty. I can still print(message) and see its ID, author, etc., but can't retrieve the content/embeds.

I thought it was some sort of soft-ban from the Discord API (account didn't receive any warning and works normally), but then tryed to make a new account and got the same issue. I'm so confused and can't find out what's the cause of the problem... Unless they changed the API for everyone.

  • My program isnt even a selfbot and I noticed this too today. Does your issue relate to mine? stackoverflow.com/questions/67338613/… – mattwatkins Apr 30 at 19:52
  • Very interesting... So it's a change Discord did to their API, but I wouldn't have expected this to affect also normal bots. This is really annoying and I have no clue how to solve it. :( – cholmugod Apr 30 at 20:17

  • It seems like its just a discord API bug or something so I dont think will there is a fix for it. – mattwatkins Apr 30 at 21:47
  • Selfbots are against Discord's Terms of Service. – Makonede Apr 30 at 22:17

Meaning of `{}` for return expression

-
15 1 I found by accident that the following compiles: #include <string> #include <iostream> class A{ int i{}; std::string s{}; public: A(int _i, const std::string& _s) : i(_i), s(_s) { puts("Called A(int, const std::string)"); } }; A foo(int k, const char* cstr){ return {k, cstr}; // (*) } int main(){ auto a = foo(10, "Hi!"); return 0; } The line of interest is (*). I guess the function foo is equivalent to: A foo(int k, const char* str){ return A(k, cstr); } However, is there a special name for this mechanism in (*)? Or is it just the simple fact that the compiler knows which constructor to call due to the return type? ...

Get current scroll position of ScrollView in React Native

-
Is it possible to get the current scroll position, or the current page of a <ScrollView> component in React Native? So something like: <ScrollView horizontal={true} pagingEnabled={true} onScrollAnimationEnd={() => { // get this scrollview's current page or x/y scroll position }}> this.state.data.map(function(e, i) { <ImageCt key={i}></ImageCt> }) </ScrollView> Try. <ScrollView onScroll={this.handleScroll} /> And then: handleScroll: function(event: Object) { console.log(event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y); }, Disclaimer: what follows is primarily the result of my own experimentation in React Native 0.50. The ScrollView documentation is currently missing a lot of the information covered below; for instance onScrollEndDrag is completely undocumented. Since everything here relies upon undocumented behaviour, I can unfortunately make no promises that this information will remain correct a ...
