Admittedly, understanding the passage in full is made complicated by the terminology overlap between script and bot and (most importantly) between a "server" as a stand-alone computer on the network and "server" as in an instance of Discord itself.
Still, the title "Discord took no action against server that coordinated costly Mastodon spam attacks" should leave no ambiguity about the main issue at play 😄
@aran @flberger some discord bots allow you to create customer commands and use http requests, they might abuse something like that. But that is not possible for Discord to control
