Ever tried reading a Discord conversation before asking yourself, 'What the hell do these words even mean? What are they saying? Is this communication?"
PleaseExplain is a Discord bot which offers a solution to this mayhem by allowing you to define certain words or phrases.
Now you don't need to be versed in seven layers of irony and inside jokes to participate in a regular conversion!
The bot is currently hosted on DigitalOcean, and you can invite it to your server through this link:
https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1128976599677665411
However, note that I'm not planning to host it forever, and your data could be lost.
Instead, feel free to clone this project, create an application and bot on the Discord Developer Portal, and paste the token in a .env file under the label TOKEN=
Make sure to install the dependencies in requirements.txt.
You may also need to create a directory called database/ under which an SQLite database file will be created.
Finally, just run main.py, and optionally set it as a system process to keep the bot operational.
