How do I prevent a bot from replying to private messages on Discord?

Question

Python

I want to make it so that only the bot can write to the server member, and the server member itself cannot. Those. the bot did not respond to commands in private messages, only on the server. How can I do that?

Add a check for command execution in the LAN.
Or for the whole bot:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/com...

@bot.check
async def global_guild_only(ctx):
    if not ctx.guild:
        raise commands.NoPrivateMessage  # replicating guild_only check: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/42a538edda79f92a26afe0ac902b45c1ea20154d/discord/ext/commands/core.py#L1832-L1846
    return True

Or for each command separately:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/com...

@bot.command()
@commands.guild_only()
async def cmd(ctx, ...):
    """Here we go..."""
    ...
