You can teach someone how to rent a vps and run a docker image with one 10-minute youtube video. Then they can use the drag and drop editor and run the bot themselves. If they don’t want to pay for hosting that’s too bad. A vps to run a bot will cost a couple bucks a month.

I get the non-techie blindspot that all of us have in some form or another. With that in mind: it took three days to give my brother a crash course in Linux + Docker for his own home server (and even then he only knew the very basics). He’s fairly proficient in tech: builds his own desktops, knows the basics of code, doesn’t shy away from digging into the why, etc.

It would be unrealistic (and frankly irresponsible) to expect someone to setup _and understand_ a Docker server setup from a 10-minute video.

yes but also once you let that happen there will be thousands of discord servers holding tokens, with no security updates...
