# The Observer
Many of us have experienced long, uninterrupted sessions of scrolling through social media feeds. But has anyone ever paused to ask: what exactly are all these users discussing?
This project seeks to answer that question. Its primary objective is to provide an unbiased, comprehensive analysis of public Mastodon servers by leveraging the capabilities of the `BERTopic` model. The project is designed with an extensible architecture, allowing for flexible and scalable insights into public discourse across these platforms.
