umm bro, are you using discord.js v13? – Lemun Juice Nov 07 '21 at 07:52 — Lemun Juice, Nov 07 '21 at 07:52

Assuming this is Discord.js v13, you need to be using Node 16.6.0+ as stated in the docs. The error you're receiving is most likely due to your Node version being below that since ??= should work if you're using the right version of node.

Logical nullish assigment (??=) is relatively new to Node (15.14.0 according to node.green), you need to update it to at least 16.6.0 for Discord.js v13 to fully function.
