@MattHodges it’s a little easier for me if I pull the JSON into pandas and work with a data frame. I am trying a simple boost or fave count / follower count metric for now.

I am not quite sure how far back to go though. (And the fetch_next helper function worked fine for me)
@vmstan What do you think about some data on moderation? # of reported posts, # of moderation actions etc?

@viticci Since mine does not work on profile pages I don’t have all the conditionals (and regex) that you have because I don’t have to figure out if it’s a post or a profile.

I think the best solution on iOS/iPadOS is client apps should have a “open this page in <client>” share sheet action like Tweetbot does for Twitter urls.

@viticci I think we essentially wrote the same thing! I thought needing an API key was kind of ridiculous but it helps. Mine only works on posts so far.
@carmendrahl Welcome!

@Cmastication Polars only works with local file systems which seems a little limiting. Won’t big data sets that could benefit from the streaming often be in cloud storage not on a local disk?

(Duckdb in theory works but is dependent on third party file system libraries (like the Azure Blob Filesystem)).

Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:

1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours

@ziya The "coke can but it has no red" is a good one too:

Closing a water fountain for Covid makes no sense to me. Wasn’t the water fountain an innovation to prevent disease spread?
@johnefrancis my understanding is after 40 other messages if it's boosted again in your timeline it'll show up. I see repeat boosts all the time. i think the suggestion in the github issue is to make it time-based. (i.e. don't see the same boost again within N days)
