# Five Million bluesky posts


![image/png](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/674783a7c6317bfd72b33659/YSHpZ-KDe4v9yGnDt6c6Y.png)

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

This dataset contains 5 million public posts collected from Bluesky Social's firehose API, intended for machine learning research and experimentation with social media data.

This dataset was inspired by the Alpindales original 2 million posts dataset, this dataset expands on that dataset with much more data.
This is the small version of the dataset to come for testing with formatting/smaller projects.

This dataset is my own and is unaffiliated with bluesky or any potential employer.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->

The dataset could be used for:
- Study social media trends
- Research on social media content moderation
- Studying conversation structures and reply networks

I have not been able to figure out how to parse the atproto image ref bytes into a image or blob url. I would appreciate a PR for that.

## Dataset Curation

The dataset is filtered, sorting the dataset for quality or moderation may make it more valuable for your use cases. The dataset is as-is and no liablity is provided.
There likley are duplicates, however deduping was done for each batch (1 million posts) so the amount is likley negligible.
