Hello, this is KaraKaraWitch, maintainer of this organization. Thank you for your report.
We have permanently deleted the dataset as requested. As of this writing, all associated files have been removed from HuggingFace.co.
We've also updated the README to reflect this change.

Regarding the data's origin, we want to clarify that we collected it from a public API that does not require any authentication. As of writing, this endpoint remains publicly accessible, the information can still be gathered by anyone.

While we have removed this specific dataset in good faith, we cannot prevent others from accessing the public API to collect this data in the future. Thank you.

Regards,
KaraKaraWitch

Dear KaraKaraWitch,

Thank you very much for your prompt response and swift action regarding our request. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in immediately deleting the dataset and updating the relevant documentation accordingly.

Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply; we encountered rate limits immediately after creating our Hugging Face account.

We understand and acknowledge your clarification concerning the public accessibility of the API, and we will consider appropriate measures on our end to address this.

Again, thank you for your quick and responsible handling of this matter.

Sincerely,
MurakamiSan
Chief Executive Officer
MisskeyHQ Inc. (operator of Misskey.io)
