I like being on Twitter, and I have studied their algorithms and graph structures from several angles. Here are some of the maps I have made of my Twitter circles over the years:

if i had to put names to the categories above

green: normies, jokes, and people i know IRL
blue: techies and journalists (normal)
pink: futurist, techies and journalists (weird)
orange: meta-rats, digital gardeners
yellowish: post-rats, "the ingroup"
I just realized this might work as a political compass. Pink to yellow axis as generally left and right, green to blue axis as shitposter to serious poster https://t.co/lRaIhzh0Kb

my dear friends. i have done it. 82 of you are now listed on this chart. i will reveal the axes in 100 hours (despite my campaign promise that it would be sooner) or if one of you guesses both axes

oh and if you were wondering, both the x and y axis are plotted on log scale. otherwise everyone would be in one tight blob in the corner with a few obvious outliers.

the minimum and maximum of the graph are set within possible coordinates. That's why you have people on the edge
new social graph dropped. can you guess the axes?

and THAT is why I need 10,000 followers. So I can create a SimCluster of my own, with my cool friends, and we can all hang out together. including you!
