Hello #scaling and @bsky.app enthusiasts.

While the data gathering goes on, the sample size increases and I am saving snapshots.

Here you can see how the distributions are changing over time after moving from 40k to 540k users. Dashed lines are power laws with exp -2 and -1 for reference.

New work with @alainbarrat.bsky.social!
How to generate surrogate temporal networks to replace real ones:
arxiv.org/abs/2411.05477
Surrogates will have:
- no temporal length limit
- local dynamics similar to the real one
- mesoscale features like clustering and modularity
- long-term memory effects
