Introduction:

Through this project, you will develop skills in social media data crawling, how to operate an open-source large language model while crafting compelling prompts, and performing exploratory analysis on the gathered data. For this project, you are required to crawl data from the Mastodon social media platform. Additionally, you have the freedom to choose a topic of your choice. However, it is crucial to select a controversial topic that fosters the emergence of contrasting viewpoints, such as Climate Change (pro-climate change, neutral, anti-climate change), Threads (pro-Threads, neutral, anti-Threads), Twitter (anti-Elon, neutral, pro-Elon), AI tech industry (AI tech optimist, neutral, AI tech pessimist), or other similarly engaging issues.
