Table 1. Top ten influential users from each super-community, ranked by the overall h-index.

Individual Twitter users are anonymized and their handles start with $. Left-to-Right denotes users which moved from the Left-wing to the Right-wing super-community (@vladaRS: the official Slovenian government account, and @ukclj: University Medical Centre Ljubljana). The top users in each super-community are $PM-mar20-now (current prime minister), and $PM-sep18-mar20 (former prime minister), respectively. Each user is assigned the h-index rank (h-rank), the h-index (h-ind) for the overall three year period and the five selected timepoints (P0, …, P132), and the overall unweighted out-degree (out-deg). Note that the top Left-wing influential users barely reach the h-index rank of top 100.
