This is not a command list. Some of the descriptions after the dash are not actually how you use that command. Use -commands in a server with db8bot to find db8bot's full command list.

• Moderation: purge
• Utility Commands - server info, user info, bot info
• General Chat Commands - quickly generate a server invite link, say as bot
• Debate Commands - get research paper from Google Scholar/Semantic Scholar/arXiv/Sci-Hub, start then track a debate round, track current speech, end the tracked debate round, get judge's paradigm from Tabroom
• Fun Commands :) - trump quotes, communism, capitalism, bataille & baudrillard themed quotes

We do not recommend self-hosting db8bot. The application depends on numerous custom in-house APIs and services. For the best experience, please invite the hosted version of db8bot to your server.

We only support hosting on Linux machines at this time. We plan on releasing an image on Docker Hub soon.

Please find instructions here.
