Duplicate messages in multiple shards
ws.on('message', async function incoming(data) {
    const object = JSON.parse(data);
        
      let channel = await client.channels.fetch(object.message.target.id);
            if (channel) {
                console.log('Discord socket message:', shardid)
                await channel.send(object.message.text)
            }
        return;

    });

Hello, I have a bot with multiple shards. I attempted to send a Discord message when the bot receives a WebSocket message. However, I'm currently facing an issue. If I use the code mentioned above, sometimes multiple shards will send the same message simultaneously. For instance, shard 4 and shard 8 both have access to the channel, resulting in duplicate messages. Is this behavior normal? How can I ensure that only one shard sends the message?
