We note that there are several large nodes that do not belong to a community but has different colors from their vicinity: paxmao, Ognasty, ui_zakharchenko, explorder, xandry fall into such a class. Why they are independent from any group?
The interpretation is that their merit histories are peculiar and different from others.
paxmao and
Ognasty look like sending merits to a lot of sections, which is why the algorithm could not tell which communities they are belonging to. It implies that they have been trying hard to distribute merits to the entire forum.
Very cool. I have been going out of my way to hunt across many sections for merit worthy posts to make sure that merits are being distributed as intended. It is nice to see that I've done such a good job the algorithm could not even classify me. It is also nice to be recognized as having been, "trying hard to distribute merits to the entire forum."
Thanks. Kudos for a cool use of available data.
Thanks, yes it is very clear from the analysis that you are an outstanding merit sender. Congrats for your efforts beating the algorithm.
