4/ Results: Here is the evolution of political socialization patterns within the right-wing Twitter cluster.

4/Results: There is a more significant rise in in-group connections within the French right-wing over time compared to left and centre.

3/Methods: I leveraged the chronological order of Twitter follow relationships. For three political communities (right, center and left), I checked if they evolved to be more "ingroup" by comparing their initial follows to their final follows over time.

2/ To dissect this enigma, I analyzed evolving in-group connections among political right, left, and center communities on French Twitter.

Thread: 1/ In this study, I explore ingroup socialization trends on Twitter across the political spectrum. My focus: France. Are right-wing users more inclined towards in-group socialization?

Excited to share my latest paper, "Right-Wing Twitter Users in France Exhibit Growing Homophily Compared to Left and Center Users," now published! Full text here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
