#3The bigotry scores are especially interesting.

#4Would be interesting if there was also some way to also get moderated comments in the analysis. I was surprised to see 2xc nowhere near 'top' for toxicity, but the mod team moderates a _ton_ of terrible comments on a daily basis. Seeing a comparison of all the default subreddits vs like the next x biggest non-defaults would be interesting too, wonder if that influx of new users changes anything..

#5This analysis ignores completely ignores another analysis posted in the referenced "most toxic communities" AskReddit thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2v39v2/what_popul...) which charts the positivity and negativity of submissions to the top 100 subreddits, which had similar conclusions: http://i.imgur.com/8MGbiBO.png
I'm a bit upset about it. :P

#6Very interesting! I'd absolutely love to see an analysis like this run against a forum I admin. Guess I have yet another side project to look into.

#7I wonder how the scores would be changed if the code could be updated to treat intruding outsiders differently from supported regulars?
I bet you'd see ShitRedditSays and TwoXChromosomes suddenly sink down the "bigoted" ratings, while climbing right to the top of the "under siege" rating.

For shitredditsays, there's also a lot of quoting and satire to account for.

Satire is common on two of the most toxic subreddits, shitredditsays and tumblrinaction. But in both, I think it's clear the sarcasm is sometimes used to hide hatred and bigotry.
