gollark: Great!
gollark: <@319753218592866315> Do you mind if ABR gathers similar data here too? I could add a "delete my data" option too, like you don't have.
gollark: Maybe I should make ÄBR optionally gather such infodatas and store them in its high-performance™ SQLite backend.
gollark: This is by message count though, and I send longish messages. we need to collect word and char count.
gollark: Maybe shrink the date labels too.
