The Parler API is one hot mess.
A string value for joined time that is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS? Human = false for Devin Nunes who is a verified account? Score is a string instead of int?

It's good for sorting -- but it's an odd choice in my opinion for an API to return. Epoch time, ISO 8601, etc. Although this seems like a close approximation of the latter.

Yeah, it's close to ISO8601. Might be some sort of advantage to storing everything either in UTC or the server's local timezone (does allow storage as an INT rather than STR) and letting the client figure out offsets to Local. 🤷♂️

What always worries me when I see this is that they're converting from a timezone but I have no idea which. If it was epoch time, it would be much easier to work with.
