What is a Discord bot?
A bot is a program that simulates human activity while carrying out a specific set of commands, typically with little to no user input. In other words, they’re machines designed and coded to automate a task. Most Discord developers deploy bots to fill out repetitive tasks, delegate administrative duties, or add games to increase activity within servers. These bots can keep running indefinitely until commanded to stop or get shut down. Sometimes, the presence of a Discord bot can be the difference maker from a dead server to one that’s booming (with activity).
Why host a Discord bot on a server?
Discord bots appear on yourMemberslist like other humans and become an addition to any Discord community. Discord server owners use popular websites to find Discord bots, likeTop.ggorDiscord Bot List, or by visiting the Discord bot’s website or the developer’s GitHub. Procuring these bots has many uses; these include monitoring Discord servers for bad actors, while others are for entertainment, like listening to music with a music bot in a voice channel, trading memes and anime cards or catching virtual Pokémon with Mewbot and PokéTwo.
