REPORT: Grounding a Computational Analysis of User Responses to the Banning of r/The_Donald
This report characterises the subreddit r/The_Donald as a discursive ecology, using computational methods to isolate the linguistic and behavioural mores of its userbase. Subsequently, a methodology for evaluating Reddit's attempts stall the proliferation of hate across the platform is presented.
PPE Undergraduate, Durham University
I am currently an undergraduate studying philosophy, politics and economics at Durham University, using computational methods to research digital platform regulation and the spread of alt-right hate-speech on Reddit. Aside from academia, I spend most of my time competing on Durham's advanced debate team and adapting electronic music for piano.
