MessageUpdate gets triggered whenever another bot posts a message with embed
my bot keeps on triggering message update when ever another bot (PingCord in this instance) post a new message with an embed. idk why a update event keeps on triggering even when there is no message update taking place

embeds pretty much always trigger messageUpdate, that's how Discord renders them
ok. is there any fix for this situation ?
Can't fix what isn't broken
Embeds are received via messageUpdate
but in this case both oldMessage and newMessage has the same embed
i understand that this is how its supposed to work
but for my case i would like to know if there is a actual change in the message content or embed
i tried comparing the content which seemed fine
but for embed it seems like there is no easy way to compare two embeds to determine if they are same
