We should:

allow setting multiple bot prefixes in the configuration file,
use a single source for prefixes instead of multiple (we have a RegEx in one class and a String in another class now).

We should grab all strings from the config and automate building a RegEx similar to (?i)^(prefix1|prefix2|prefix3)\b.

This has the drawback of limiting us to specific one-word prefixes, but we could technically add exceptions to the message listener to also still support more elaborate RegEx expressions (or support eg. a single ! as a prefix, without being followed by a word break, like !help.).
