-- The smallest useful bot: connect, log when ready, reply to one prefix
-- command. Good starting point to copy for a new bot before adding
-- slash commands, buttons, or voice.

-- The ping command below is a prefix command, so it needs GUILD_MESSAGES
-- to see the message and MESSAGE_CONTENT (privileged, enable it on the
-- dev portal too) to read the text. default_intents() alone is not
-- enough since MESSAGE_CONTENT is privileged and excluded from it.
