I'd enjoy seeing this kind of analysis for some other subreddits to give some context to the content. Namely /r/worldnews and perhaps /r/politics

The one thing that unites them is that they all have too much time on their hands

Holy shit, these people are morons. Just the names of the subs tells you all you need to know.

I had no idea there were so many subreddits dedicated to being a racist fuckwit.

What happened to that subreddit? Looking at the top postings it used to be a real place to discuss the holocaust as opposed to denialist fucktard trash spewing horse shit.

Edit 2: **larger font size version**[1]. Didn't realize how small it'd look in RES. Sorry.
Tool: MindNode for the visualization, and Excel for data aggregation.
Data source: modlists initially. Data is compiled at **/r/duckvimes/wiki/racistsubmods** for mod lists, or you can get a spreadsheet with binary "is mod/is not mod" data here (download the .txt file then paste it into a spreadsheet): **http://pastebin.com/mTcGfNDS[2]**

My **original version**[3] was pretty well-received, so I thought I'd post the updated one. Feedback/comments are welcome!
.
Edit to clarify: I'm not saying that /r/911truth is racist like the other subs; I just included it because I found the overlap interesting. /r/Holodomor *shouldn't* be racist, but it's run entirely by antisemites/racists.
Edit 3: If anyone's curious, here's the **overlap** data: **http://i.imgur.com/QXfgl0h.png[4]** (http://pastebin.com/nr32R3v5[5])

Edit 4: **My inbox has been absolutely flooded** for most of the day between this post and some /r/isrconspiracyracist drama (way over 200 replies, in waves, over the last 24 hours). If I missed your comment and didn't reply, please feel free to reply again or PM me.
Edit #whatever: As stated in other places, **this is not a comprehensive list of subs**. I can work on something like that, but in the meantime, you can go to /r/holocaust/about/moderators and look at the profile pages of the mods to see what else they mod.

As a side note, I just did a look through the mods of /r/dataisbeautiful, and none of them moderate any of the other same subs.

Aaaand this is why /r/conspiracy mods/subscribers are complete pieces of shit, for the most part. Lots of overlap between conspiracy subs and racists subs.

So the majority of the mods are Nazi sympathizers and soc-nationalists? That's... not good

Is each line a unique user? I'm guessing not, as I assume there is some overlap between the secondary subs as well. I wonder how best to represent the number of unique mods - perhaps just a number in the sub's bubble.
It would be interesting to see this with some of the larger subs and defaults, like politics, worldnews, atheism, etc.

It's the flower of ignorance and hatred. I had no idea that any of those subs existed.

Not really related, but: /r/TrayvonMartin has **71** moderators. I'm not really sure what that says, but I thought it was interesting.

After reading /r/zog, i can't tell if they're serious or if it's a satirical circle jerk.

Hilarious submission from /r/WhiteRights from last year.[1] Gosh, what a great and wise leader he has proven himself to be, right guys?

Is there any way to programmatically generate this data for any given subreddit? Seems like it'd be a fun tool to play with.

Are there also other moderators of /r/Holocaust who are not visible in this image or is this all of them?

So there are subreddits (potentially many of them) all run by volunteer mods (or possibly put there by larger interests) who have goals and ideals to keep others in check by spreading their influence in subreddits that they control. Not surprising since people will manipulate anything they have the power to do easily.

Why isn't this info freely available on every info bar on every sub?? Would make reddit a better place imo

Sure, you showed the overlap. But you failed to name names.
