Fediverse HWT & AIGT Corpus
Abstract
This dataset is a large-scale Fediverse (Mastodon) social media corpus designed for benchmarking AI-Generated Text (AIGT) detection and related community-aware analyses. It contains a balanced composition of: Human-Written Text (HWT) collected from the pre-LLM era, and AI-Generated Text (AIGT) produced with state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs). A key feature of this release is the explicit preservation of community context: posts are drawn from 263 distinct Mastodon instances, where each instance is treated as a “community” with its own norms, topics, and moderation policies. This structure supports community-aware modeling, cross-instance generalization studies, and analyses of linguistic variation in decentralized social networks.
