Accounts with less than 5 in-degree filtered out to make it a bit easier https://t.co/J0zRFoiIGI or https://t.co/YmCTH4lxzq
@MenanderSoter @visakanv @devonzuegel @rivatez @juliagalef @KevinSimler @webdevMason @TheAnnaGat @kevinakwok @david_perell @eriktorenberg @shl @briannekimmel @vgr @fortelabs @sharanvkaur @Aella_Girl @sonyasupposedly @QiaochuYuan @nwilliams030 @aaronzlewis You should do a post about this. For what it's worth I think the combination of the data source and the clustering algorithm has made more legible some things which round to true but which are not obviously publicly legible, which is an interesting thing.
@MenanderSoter @visakanv @devonzuegel @rivatez @juliagalef @KevinSimler @webdevMason @TheAnnaGat @kevinakwok @david_perell @eriktorenberg @shl @briannekimmel @vgr @fortelabs @sharanvkaur @Aella_Girl @sonyasupposedly @QiaochuYuan @nwilliams030 @aaronzlewis "What is that thing?" Ahh, but to say that the true thing is true is a quite different thing from *naming* the true thing, because after you have named the truth it becomes much harder to forget it, and from that naming new truths might arise.

But, I don't think doing all these graphs has made me uniquely fit to comment on them. I think the subject of each graph can give the best insight into the graph. And, there are others more fit to comment on these graphs generally (see: most of the big fish smarties :P)

Would actually like a version of this graph with all the big/famous names removed, so that the newer and less popular folks can more easily find each other. @MenanderSoter do you think that’s doable? Maybe remove anybody above 10k followers? 🤔 just wonderin’

I thought it was follower count but it doesn't seem to be
