Why does discord ping usernames and show them as "unknown user" on bot embeds? I have noticed this is mainly only on people whos Profiles I have not seen or clicked on. On birthday bots Ive also seen that it pings using the ID but not showing the username For Example: <@34207552023574> but if I click on the users name in the members list (after typing it in chat) the embed shows the username.
Is there a real reason for this? It is more a question for me due to the bot always only showing the ID especially in automod logs which can be annoying when I need to ban someone whos been spamming messages that have been deleted all through the server.
- If its a privacy thing how actually is it really related?
