No long-winded introductions here. I got some data, played with it a bit, and now I have some pretty pictures. You can check the related topic for more info.
[url=https://googledrive.com/host/0BzCiGftwimcfbmxkZ2ZjS1BhSVk/]Here is the interactive version of the graph[/url]. [b]It is very large and will run very slowly (probably not at all on a mobile device).[/b]
Details:
- There are 9,228 nodes/users in the graph
- There are 14,966 edges/follows
- Click below for confusing math details[spoiler]*keep in mind that I only looked at the users in the previous topic and got a list of their followers who were also in the graph; I didn't look at the followers of the followers
- Average degree: 1.622
- Network diameter: 11
- Average path length: 4.474[/spoiler]
- The graph is organised in a few ways:
1) sub-communities (modularity class), which is indicated by the colours. Groups of users with the same colour were identified as belonging to an individual sub-community.
2) how central to the network of users an individual user is according to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvector_centrality]Eigenvector centrality[/url] ([url=http://www.activatenetworks.net/who-is-central-to-a-social-network-it-depends-on-your-centrality-measure/]read here for layman's terms[/url]) which is indicated by how large a node (a user) is. The larger, the more central to the network.
3) The edges (the lines you can see) which connect a user to another user is done according to who follows who.
Now for some more interesting stats:

Interesting
-
I am still surprised you can actually see my name lol
-
I'm just as irrelevant as I was on the old site. Just the way I like it.
-
So many followers, but apparently they're almost all in the same social circle here on the site- the old members, hah. Alas.
-
🔥I am an insignificant speck.🔥
-
I don't even post here regularly anymore and somehow I'm in the top 10 on this thingy. stay mad, attention whores
-
So Cool
-
what does it mean by "Strongly-Connected ID"?
-
Found it.
-
I am so insignificant
-
Bump for great justice!
-
Daz can you give me some ranking data? It looks like Im one of the most visible yellows. But how do I rank up against the community?
-
Awesome, I'm at least noticeable.

Edited by Atticus: 11/29/2014 11:26:03 PMI commented on your assignment thread - did you overlook me or am I [i]that [/i]insignificant...? [EDIT]: False alarm, I realised that I had to use my ID. Strangely enough I am associated with people I don't even know.
-
[i]Well that's pretty neat.[/i]
-
I need to step up my game
-
-
So half of the most popular are unconstructive shitposters? Nothing new under the sun.
-
I think this post was put here to make me feel bad [spoiler]It succeeded :[[/spoiler]
-
Cool, am I popular?
-
Hard to believe even the ninjas have sunk to popularity threads.
-
Edited by Jaaake AU: 11/27/2014 10:09:11 PMSo I'm fourth most central user (whatever that means!) but didn't even make it on the other lists? Interesting :3
-
-
I want a node. Can I haz node?
-
The only way to win is to follow [i]nobody[/i]. Like me!
