Hey, tildes!

A few weeks ago, I brought attention to Russian propaganda being shared on reddit. I deleted my reddit accounts, but I'm still tracking propaganda being shared on social media. The midterms are approaching quickly, so I'm asking for your help with the project I'm working on.

1. Help with code: Improve what exists and add more features, heck, even documentation would be an improvement (I'm not a programmer).

2. Find more propaganda sites: Right, left, Russian, Jamaican, whatever.

3. Spread the word: Social media, irl friends, media, politicians, etc.

78,143 reddit posts total.
16,831 deceptive Russian reddit posts.
5,588 deceptive Iranian reddit posts.
1,416 tweets total.

Here's the full output. Check the 'Overview' tab first.

Happy to answer questions if you have any.

For those unfamiliar an open collaboration is just a broader term than open source describing non software related projects like Wikipedia.

I have been thinking a lot about how much potential exists in open collaboration and somewhat confused we don't see more of it. I know that at least in open source software a significant portion of projects die or lose support. Why is this?
