I would like to know the proper way to check that the channel supports thread creation in order to later write:

- Issue solved? Press the button!putting aside the fact that non-thread guild channels are cached if you have the
Guilds intent and therefore don't need to be fetched
since you're getting a channel by hardcoded id, you realistically should know what type of channel it is and therefore you could cast/assert its type
alternatively you could just check channel.type (by comparing with the appropriate member of the ChannelType enum)
if you were looking for a more general solution, there isn't a specific typeguard for being able to create threads, so you'd need to utilize multiple typeguards to ensure that it's either textbased or thread only and that it's not a thread or voice channel
alternatively you can just utilize the in operatorOh thank you, until now I was using the "in" keyword but I think I will switch to the check with the type property 
Just to explain why I don't force the type even if I know it, it's juste because I don't trust data. I always perform controls to be sure that if the source of the data change later (user input) I don't have to make many changes since all controls are already there
