The article explores the prominence of tankies within the far-left ideological landscape, using graph theory to analyze subreddit interactions. By constructing a user-based graph, the authors employ community detection methods to uncover clusters of similar ideological subreddits, revealing migration patterns between tankies and other communities. This analysis highlights the complex engagement of tankies with adjacent far-left groups, shedding light on the structural dynamics and user affiliations that characterize these online spaces. The findings contribute to understanding how distinct identities within the far-left may converge or diverge over time.
This study systematically analyzes the presence of "tankies" within far-left ideologies, unraveling their interactions and migration between subreddits through community detection.
By constructing a subreddit user graph, we unveil how these ideological groups overlap, providing insight into user migration patterns and similarities among far-left communities.
Our findings highlight the complexities of tankie interactions, indicating that while tankies maintain distinct identities, they frequently overlap and engage with other subreddits within the far-left spectrum.
Through advanced graph construction and community detection, we illuminate the nuanced dynamics among far-left subreddit communities and the user migrations that shape them.
