Please make Onboarding more bot compatible

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Discord often implements features that are not bot compatible. And this really sucks because some of the features are incredibly useful. I'm going to be frank and say that many bots implement features that Discord has been recently adding, and they implement them better. It makes sense. If a bot has a whole dedicated team for it, it's going to likely be better than anything Discord can come up with. I mean, you guys have a huge team, but yiu need to run AN ENTIRE app. Now I'm this specific case, I'm referring to the Onboard feature. Many servers use bots for verification since it essentially eliminates the possibility of raids and alts. Bots like double counter block raids and bot accounts from even joining in the first place. They'll just be stuck filling up the server without actually being able to say or do anything, at which point it's an easy kick. This bot however is incompatible with the current implementation of Onboarding. Now onboarding is a cooler and cleaner way of organizing channels. Sure I could use bots to the same effect, but Onboard for once actually does it better. The requirement to have FIVE channels that the @everyone role is able to talk in though breaks everything, since for double counter bot to work, the @everyone role cannot have message access to any channel. I'm requesting that this requirement be reduced to 1, or removed entirely. View access makes sense, but message access? What if I want to have instructions show up as default channels, but only give access to a set of chat channels based on what the member is interested in? As much as I'd love to use Onboarding, for now, it'll be another feature I put in the shelf due to not incompatibilities.

As usual, auto correct and a tiny mobile keyboard strikes again. Please excuse any typos.

I have to agree here, I thought the onboarding menu was absolutely perfect for putting my role selection process into. Then I was hit with the massive wall of @everyone needs to be able to see and chat in 5 channels.

Well... if @everyone can do that then they don't really need my roles then, do they? And if they don't need my roles then I don't need onboarding.

Poorly thought-out feature which now contradicts Discords very own Prune feature which helps me be confident in removing inactive bot accounts, since they have no roles and cannot see anything.
