[suggestion] Let users create their own aliases with ;;alias

[sidesvvipe]

Not sure how you'd implement this for non self hosted bot but this would be really usefully to have

[freyacodes]

Can you elaborate? Do you mean allowing server admins to create aliases, or allowing selfhosters to configure a list of aliases?

[sidesvvipe]

Both ideally, but I was thinking about first option - allowing admins to do ;;alias

[freyacodes]

Why both? Wouldn't the first just make the second mostly obsolete?

[sidesvvipe]

looking away ashamed of own stupidity yeah...

[Almighty-Alpaca]

The only thing you'd need for this is a database with a really fast access. Not sure what FredBoat currently uses, but redis for example could work.

[freyacodes]

We use Postgres

We actually cache our entities with ehcache, so it wouldn't really cause much delay, even if the database is located on a different continent
