In the linked thread, we explored networks of accounts amplifying the #Bernie2020 hashtag by looking solely at interactions between mutual retweeters (accounts that RT'd one another's tweets containing the hashtag). Let's apply this to a couple other hashtags.

First up: #OpMayflower (dataset from October 2018, hashtag has been pushed a few times). This is a far more extreme case of the mutual retweeting seen in the #Bernie2020 set - every account that received retweets is also a major node in the network.
Next, here's the mutual retweet network for #Novichok in the month following the #Skripal poisoning. This reveals the structure of the network of accounts pushing pro-Kremlin disinformation on the topic.
One more: #NeverBernie mutual retweeters; not much of a network amplifying this one. For the sake of comparison, the same diagram for #Bernie2020 is included.
Also for the sake of comparison, same diagram for #KamalaHarris2020. Very little in the way of amplification via mutual retweets.
