What happened?

Revolt.js 7 seems to not handle deleting messages using message.delete() or channel.deleteMessages() correctly after a DM is sent.

Error message:

/home/dumpling/Documents/Code/stationbot/packages/revolt.js/lib/cjs/classes/Message.js:96
        return __classPrivateFieldGet(this, _Message_collection, "f").getUnderlyingObject(this.id).authorId;

Node.js v18.7.0

Code is available here

Removing message.delete()/channel.deleteMessages() seems to fix the issue.

Currently using revolt.js 7.0.0-beta.1. Built locally.

EDIT: Add version information
