During the scraping procedure (occurred on April 2023) some information like text color and links was lost in the process. Most of the data is adult-themed, and given that usernames inside the posts still exist, it would be best if usernames weren't directly used when training a model with this data.

Due to the nested structure of the data, I had to split the original parquet file into smaller ones in order to avoid issues when loading them with `pandas` in Python (via PyArrow). This appears to be a [documented problem](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/21526#issuecomment-2350741670).
