I give up finding that post. Anyway, I think https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/fediverseobservatory/ is a cool idea. I sent them an email actually

also the only reason I'm not freaking out about their poor choice of wording "anonymizing your data" is because what they really mean is just stripping it completely. If you'll look at the provided examples (scroll, because they're not just a couple lines) what it does is replace the actual value corresponding to a given key with the expected type.

see:

    "replies": {
      "id": "<uri>",
      "type": "Collection",
      "first": {
        "type": "CollectionPage",
        "next": "<uri>",
        "partOf": "<uri>",
        "items": [
          "<undefined>"
        ]
      }
    }

This is more just "mapping" out how AP objects are represented between each instance rather than gathering the actual object itself. Which is why I suggested that they provide a way for us to feed them information they can't get from a relay like forwarded reports.
