DDI Web App

This application serves as a portal for various tools that have been developed at The Digital Democracies Institute:

---

• 1. Scraping Discord
• 2. Scraping Twitter through the zeeschuimer plugin
• 3. Scraping Twitter dialogues through the v2 academic API
• 4. Text-clustering using our cedar computing infrastructure
• 5. Image-scraping on 4chan, Reddit, Facebook (via Crowdtangle) and Twitter
• 6. Image-clustering using our cedar computing infrastructure
• 7. Authenticity marker annotating using our ghost annotator (fine-tuned gpt3 model)
• 8. Sentiment classifier auditing through a freeform textbox
• 9. Instagram scraping through the zeeschuimer plugin

Update 7/10/2023: Due to the APIcalpyse, we are currently unable to gather data from Twitter and Reddit like we once could; this hampers our text and image collection abilities. We are currently looking into alternative approaches such as using Zeeschuimer for Persona Method approaches among other techniques in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
