@griibor there's free-csharp-vscode aka C# from Open VSIX Registry. you need to manually install the extension file or switch your VSCode to Open VSIX. switching may make other extensions unavailable

@yassie_j i should really tell them to go fuck themselves from the get go. it's not productive at all but neither is trying to reason with them. it's so exhausting trying to argue with someone who is just being condescending and trying to gaslight and confuse you.

@ari moshidon is great. my biggest complaint is just not being able to see who left what reactions (the reactions themselves are visible)

@akurilov @rail_ @mawhrin Mastodon is a social media platform, not a bot. Mastodon is also more than just Mastodon.social, I feel the need to point that out because you are using a Mastodon.social account. The post at the top of this thread literally shows the Awakari bot account following them. I used the term "Mastodon bot" because people use the term "Fediverse" and "Mastodon" interchangeably.

@akurilov @rail_ @mawhrin a bot is "a computer program that performs automatic repetitive tasks". Mastodon is the largest fediverse server software. Awakari is a service that "Aggregates thousands of: Feeds ..., Fediverse Publishers and Telegram Channels". Awakari is very different to Mastodon but it uses a Mastodon account as a bot to aggregate, or "scrape", "Fediverse Publishers" as it calls them.

@akurilov @rail_ @mawhrin your bot automatically sends follow requests in order to "get consent". Every fediverse server accepts all follow requests by default. This is pretty much functionally identical to automatically following users.

@akurilov @rail_ @mawhrin Having a bot that automatically seeks out and follows users with the intent of scraping their profiles is something that most people do not want. Accepting follow requests from the bot is not an adequate form of consent when the default behaviour of every fediverse server is to automatically accept follow requests on the user's behalf. Suggesting that it is consent is disingenuous and abusive. If it was truly opt-in users would not need to be aware of the different opt-out mechanisms such as the nobot tag or account settings that some servers might not have. Moving your bot to a different domain name to bypass the large amount of blocks you have received is also extremely shitty. If you truly wanted it to be opt-in without manufacturing consent then the bot should operate off of mutual, 2-way following, not a follow request that most users will automatically accept with no input.
