# Scored.co 2025 scrape

This dataset is a full scrape of public content from [Scored.co](https://scored.co/), a right-wing Reddit-style social media site. It contains **73,045,361 rows** of posts and comments, stored as parquet.

The dataset is intended for research into online communities, political discussion, social media moderation, misinformation, platform migration, network dynamics, and large-scale text analysis.

## Data format

The main dataset is partitioned by entity type:

- `entity_type=post/`: post records
- `entity_type=comment/`: comment records

Hugging Face also provides converted parquet shards on the `refs/convert/parquet` branch, which can be useful for lightweight inspection or streaming workflows without downloading the full dataset.

Example:

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Streams records without downloading the full dataset first.
ds = load_dataset(
    "trentmkelly/scored_co_2025",
    split="train",
    streaming=True,
)

for row in ds.take(3):
    print(row)
```

You can also work directly with parquet URLs or the `hf://` filesystem interface if using tools such as DuckDB, Polars, PyArrow, or pandas.

## Notes and limitations

- This is scraped public web data and may include offensive, hateful, explicit, false, or otherwise sensitive content.
- Usernames and other public identifiers are included. Handle the data carefully and avoid attempts to identify, contact, harass, or profile individual users.
- Text may contain HTML-derived artifacts, links, markdown, quoted material, deleted/removed content markers, or source-platform metadata.
- The dataset reflects what was available to the scraper at collection time; it should not be treated as a complete or current representation of Scored.co.
