3 years ago I understand the confusion about file debugging. Converting long blocks of code into text files that get uploaded is a newer feature of discord, and it was not taken into account when this feature was created. The feature is intended to stop people from dumping their code files into the chat such that helpers need to take a risk and download others' files and open them just to help. We will consider a change in semantics or functionality among the team and make a change in the coming weeks.
the problem is that people doesnt uploads text files for debug. the problem is that too long code blocks are automaticaly converted to text attachments. so previous messages is really confusing. why bot talks about files then code block was created? also, i dont think that every kid or student has github to create gist so website like pastebin would be more useful because doenst requeres registration.
p.s. if you know how to improve this error message to be more user friendly - i can update PR
