Figure 7.
Conversation networks generated in Gephi53 v.0.9.2 (https://gephi.org/). Note that this figure is a descriptive visualization of the interactions among the major subreddits where discussions happened. We can see many users were active across different subreddits. Also, some subreddits such as r/news and r/LosAngeles have “central” users who attracted much attention from others. The distance in the figure does not indicate any measurement of distance between subreddits. Magenta: r/news, Green: r/LosAngeles, Orange: r/conspiracy, Cyan: r/Earthquakes.
