Adam Carter, Peter Clutton, and Colin Klein.From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate. Overall, our work paints a nuanced picture of the pipeline between the Manosphere and the Alt-right, which may inform platforms’ policies and moderation decisions regarding these communities. Members of some communities (e.g., Men’s Rights Activists) gradually engage with the Alt-right significantly more than counterparts on both Reddit and YouTube, whereas for other communities, this engagement happens mostly on Reddit (e.g., Pick Up Artists). However, our analysis also shows that migration and user base overlap varies substantially across different platforms and within the Manosphere. Our results suggest that there is a large overlap between the user bases of the Alt-right and of the Manosphere and that members of the Manosphere have a bigger chance to engage with far right content than carefully chosen counterparts.

Besides measuring the similarity in the commenting user bases of these communities, we perform a migration study, calculating to which extent users in the Manosphere gradually engage with Alt-right content. In addition to subreddits related to the communities of interest, we also collect data on counterparts: other groups of users which we use for comparison (e.g., for YouTube we use a set of media channels). Our analysis leverages over 300 million comments spread through Reddit (in 115 subreddits) and YouTube (in 526 channels) to investigate whether the audiences of channels and subreddits associated with these communities have converged between 20. In that context, this paper quantitatively studies the migratory patterns between a variety of groups within the Manosphere and the Alt-right, a loosely connected far right movement that has been particularly active in mainstream social networks. Researchers have suggested that “the Manosphere,” a conglomerate of men-centered online communities, may serve as a gateway to far right movements.
