Fig. 1: Universality of information propagation in online social media.

a In the main panel, we show the percolation strength P_∞ as a function of the temporal resolution Δ, see Eq. (1). The unit of measurement for Δ is one second. Different colors/symbols refer to different social media: Twitter (TWT), Telegram (TLG), Parler (PARL), Weibo (WEI), StackOverflow (STCK), and Delicious (DEL). In the inset, we plot the same data as in the main panel, but with the horizontal axis rescaled as Δ → Δ/Δ^*. b In the main panel, we plot the susceptibility χ as a function of the time resolution for the same data as in A, see Eq. (1). The optimal resolution Δ^* is identified as the location of the peak of the susceptibility, see Eq. (2). In the inset, we plot the same data as in the main panel, but with the rescaling Δ → Δ/Δ^*. For the sake of comparison, each curve has been normalized to its maximum χ^*, see Methods.
