Error 50007 "Cannot send messages to this user"

I am having issues when inviting the bot with the URL generated during the start-up script. Even when inviting the bot with permissions=8 I am shown the below error.

Maybe one of these settings needs to be changed?

[nerif-tafu]

Sadly not, these are my settings:

[codetheweb]

Hmm, I assume you're a member of the guild you're inviting Muse to? I think that's the last scenario where this error is supposed to be thrown, not sure what else it could be.

[nerif-tafu]

Yeah I'm the administrator of that guild, weird stuff

[codetheweb]

I doubt this will fix anything but I'd try deleting Muse's local database file.

I tested the bot on both a Ubuntu 20.04 install and also a windows 10 install and both had the same issues. I'm going to use another music bot for now, and won't be doing any more troubleshooting. Feel free to close the issue if you want, but it might be worth leaving here if other people have a similar problem

It's also worth noting that you should still be able to use the bot, even if it can't send the invite message for some reason.
