Discord selfbots - Intents

[8au]

Hey,

I've been trying to get some of my self bots back up and running, but ever since Discord have added Privileged intents I have not been able to gather presence and member data.

Recently I have started to notice more and more self bots which are using these intents, and im wondering how. Does anybody here know how they are using member intents in order to mass DM users, even though self bots cannot have access to these intents?

Me and a friend was also having problems with this too. Hopefully somebody can give us an answer!

Self-bots are bannable on Discord. Just saying.

Impersonate the Discord client instead of relying on pre-written bot APIs.

However, mass DMing users and mass DM bots are disallowed on MCM per the spam rule.[DOUBLEPOST=1612925256][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yep, pretty sure they know. Especially mass dm bots.

I'm well aware of the uses of selfbots; they can be quite handy in some situations. Just be careful with them.
You can inspect discord (via ctrl+shift+I) and use the network tab to get all the endpoints you need.

user tokens no longer have the same gateway flow as bots do. users no longer receive GUILD_SYNCs, members are now per-channel and are requested using op14 in chunks and received through GUILD_MEMBER_LIST_UPDATE. you receive an incomplete list of members as a 2d array through READY_SUPPLEMENTAL though

tldr no existing public lib will work with user tokens anymore, you have to modify libs to support new gateway events.
