Ability to friend request bots on discord, and allow them to accept friendship.

This might be unhinged, but what if we could friend bots on Discord, and then they show up on our profile as friends?

imo, I don't see any point in allowing Apps/Bots to be addable to friend lists.

If displaying Apps/Bots on profiles is the desired outcome, why not instead allow Apps you've made (own, or part of the owning team, via the Dev Portal) to display on your own profile if toggled? 🤔

Yea, I see what you mean. There's no point. No, I wasn't trying to change the way bots act towards us lol. There's a specific server I go to, named Shapes Inc, which incorporates chatbots into discord. They work like regular apps, but are specifically made for roleplay purposes.

I wanted to be able to friend them just for fun. I know this sounds like a wacky feature, but it'd be cool to have some of my shapes (or Discord Apps) in this case be able to be friends with me, even though I'm not expecting them to change the way they act towards me or anything.

one usecase of this would be to allow a bot to send you dms even if you don't share a server with it, without needing user installation

there was this bot client i logged into and your bot has free nitro and you can gift free nitro for $0 to friends, but the problem is bots cant get friends.
