FAQ

Answers to common questions. Email bananatechnologiesx@gmail.com if yours isn't here.

How is this free?

Mira is run as a personal project. Hosting costs are small (a single Brickhosting node) and covered out-of-pocket. There's no premium tier, no Patreon paywalls, no "upgrade to unlock" features. If hosting costs go up enough to matter, we'll add an optional donate page before adding any paywalls.

Why no whitelist on anti-nuke?

Whitelists are how nuke attacks succeed. An attacker compromises a whitelisted account, the protection trusts them, the server gets destroyed, the whitelist did nothing. Mira's position: thresholds protect even against trusted accounts. If a trusted admin starts deleting channels rapidly — for any reason — Mira stops them.

See the full reasoning in the anti-nuke docs.

What happens to my data if I remove Mira from my server?

Mira removes your server's configuration, audit log, and other server-specific data after 7 days. User-specific data (XP, warnings, tickets) is kept tied to your server's ID, so if you re-invite within 7 days, everything is restored. After 7 days it's gone.

For immediate deletion, email bananatechnologiesx@gmail.com with your server ID.

Can I self-host Mira?

Not currently. Mira's code isn't open source. We may open-source parts of it in the future but there's no commitment to that.

Why no music?

Music bots are a maintenance nightmare. YouTube has aggressively shut down Groovy, Rythm, and most other large music bots for TOS violations. Lavalink + Spotify/SoundCloud is on the roadmap as a maybe — but only if we can do it without playing whack-a-mole with YouTube.

What permissions does Mira need? Can I deny some?

Mira's invite asks for the full set required to make every feature work. You can technically deny some, but features that need them will silently break. See the permissions docs for which permissions power which features.

How do I get support?

Three channels:

Can I vote multiple times on Top.gg?

Top.gg allows one vote per user every 12 hours. Mira's 2× XP boost lasts the full 12-hour window, so voting at the start of a busy gaming session gets you the boost for the whole session.

Why isn't my slash command showing up?

Discord caches commands per-server. After Mira is invited (or after a new command ships), it can take up to an hour for the command picker to refresh. Try these in order:

  1. Restart your Discord client (Ctrl+R or close/reopen)
  2. Wait 5-10 minutes and try again
  3. Confirm Mira has Use Application Commands permission in the channel
  4. Confirm your role has the required permission for the command (e.g. Ban Members for /ban)

The dashboard says "Bot not in server"

Mira's API can't see the server. Re-invite the bot using the link on the homepage, then reload the dashboard.

I'm getting rate-limited

Discord rate-limits bots aggressively on certain actions (specifically: editing voice channel names is limited to 2 per 10 minutes per channel). Counter channels obey this — if your name changes every few minutes it may lag. This is a Discord limit, not a Mira limit.

Does Mira log message content?

Only when needed: auto-mod scans messages in memory and discards them; deleted messages are captured by the audit log if you have message logging enabled; ticket transcripts capture ticket-channel messages on close.

Mira does not store the content of regular messages for any other purpose. See the privacy policy for the full picture.

How do I report a bug?

Email with a description, what you expected, and what happened instead. If the bug is in the dashboard, browser dev tools console output is hugely helpful.
