asks is the first New Data Model we've done since deciding we will be moving post IDs over to snowflakes, which means it's now the Pilot Program for snowflakes in the codebase.

in case anyone reading this doesn't know what snowflakes are, they're the globally-unique ID standard that twitter, instagram, et al. use
