Let’s explore more on the snipe command on Discord and how you can use this command on your server.
Meaning of Snipe on Discord
Discord is a perfect place to find people who think like you or have similar interests as yours. The communities or servers are ideal places to communicate with your friends on text or voice channels.
To further amplify the fun, Discord introduced bots.
Bots can do everything from moderating the server by overseeing the activities and kicking/banning any member to playing games or music for you.
Moreover, some bots can show you the stock market situations to help you to make the right decision.
All bots function when you invite them to your servers and use the dedicated commands to enable them to work. Additionally, you can find bots on the Discord App Directory and can even create your own bot if you know the programming language.
Besides, you can still design a bot without knowing the programming language. Please check this out to learn more!
Now, you must be wondering why I am giving you the entire intro of bots. Well, it is to make a point.
As you know, dedicated commands trigger bots to function. For example, to play music, your command on some bots would look like; /play [song name] or !play [song-name].
So, one intriguing command you all should know is the “snipe” command. The snipe command snipes a message on Discord.
When we say to “snipe a message on Discord”, it means to show the recently deleted message on your server. It can also mean showing the recently edited message or deleted reaction.
The “pls snipe” or “snipe” command became famous from the dank Memer bot. Though, in 2021, dank Memer removed the command.
This command is a perfect moderation tool, as you can see the deleted message of any member of your community to figure out anything against the community guidelines.
To snipe at someone means to criticize them in a normal conversation. On YouTube or Twitch, stream sniping is the practice where the stream sniper tries to disrupt the live stream of a game to get featured on the stream.
