Discord bot questions
How do I add a bot to my Discord server?
Open the bot's official invite link, choose your server, and approve the permissions. You need the Manage Server permission on that server.
Are Discord bots safe?
Well-known bots are, as long as you invite them from their official site or listing. Check the permissions each bot asks for, and avoid granting Administrator unless the bot truly needs it.
Which bot should I add first?
A general-purpose bot such as Arcane or Maki, because moderation, welcome messages and roles help every server. Add music or fun bots once the basics are in place.
