Soo guy's How does it feel to be rated the 2nd most toxic sub on Reddit?

2  2015-03-25 by [deleted]

So i saw this the other day, some guy used data analysis method text-analytics to analyze a bunch of different subreddits and see which ones were the most "toxic communities" on reddit, he defines toxic as a combination of ad hominem attacks and overt bigotry, hahah. Just thought i'd mention it as i think you guys would get a kick out of it. oh yea it was also on gawker too which is kinda ironic but i'm not surprised cause of course they would pick it up.

Heres the links to the original article and then its coverage on Gawker and The Guardian in that order....
