Silent Reply Option
I'd like to propose adding an option to make the bot send or reply silently (using Discord's silent message feature). This would allow users to fix tweets without causing unnecessary notifications in busy channels.
In active servers or channels, notifications from bot replies can create unnecessary noise. A silent option would maintain the bot's functionality while being less disruptive.
Discord.py supports silent messages through the silent parameter in the reply() / send() method.
I'm willing to implement this feature myself if you're interested in the idea. I could submit a PR with the changes if this aligns with your vision for the bot.
Hello! Sorry for the late response, I was quite busy these last days. Nice idea! I juste believe this should be optionnal (silent by default). If you feel up to it, feel free! If not, I'm adding it to my to-do list.
I'm up to this, and I think it can be always @silent (you send silent messages using discord client by adding it at the first of messages), since when user posted the link it already sent one notification, there's no need for bot's duplicate notification again.
I'm definitely willing to implement this feature with a couple friends who are also interested in contributing. We'll make it optional as you suggested, with non-silent messages as the default behavior.
We'll open a PR in the next few days with the implementation. Looking forward to collaborating on this!
Nice! Thanks a lot. If you need any help or have any question, feel free to use the #development-discussion channel of the support server!
