Bot responses are not visible if a user has Link Preview disabled in Discord preferences

[moreati]

In Discord if a user has App Settings / Text and Images / Link Preview disabled, then responses from the Python bot are invisible to that user.

With Link Preview disabled

With Link Preview enabled

this leads to confusion and gnashing of teeth. I'm not saying it has to fixed, but worth having a ticket as a point of reference

Hey! Thanks for opening this issue.

This is a problem due to how discord handles embed. The only thing we can do about it is not use embeds, which would be quite a huge limitation. I'm afraid we can't do anything about it.
