论文摘要
我们使用来自Facebook小组的取消识别数据来研究并提供对当地赠与社区的描述性分析，尤其是不购买（BN）小组。这些社区允许人们提供不再需要的物品，减少浪费并与当地社区建立联系。数以百万计的人在Facebook上加入了BN团体，在19日大流行中，速度越来越高。国阵集团在茂密和城市的美国县更受欢迎，受教育程度更高。与其他本地团体相比，BN团体的Facebook友谊密度较低，这表明他们将尚未联系的人召集在一起。 BN组中的相互作用图形成了较大的紧密联系成分，这表明广义互惠的规范。 BN组中的互动模式类似于其他本地在线礼品群，其中包含诸如“免费内容”之类的术语，并``向前付款''。这表明了当地在线礼品社区的互动签名。
We use de-identified data from Facebook Groups to study and provide a descriptive analysis of local gift-giving communities, in particular buy nothing (BN) groups. These communities allow people to give items they no longer need, reduce waste, and connect to local community. Millions of people have joined BN groups on Facebook, with an increasing pace through the COVID-19 pandemic. BN groups are more popular in dense and urban US counties with higher educational attainment. Compared to other local groups, BN groups have lower Facebook friendship densities, suggesting they bring together people who are not already connected. The interaction graphs in BN groups form larger strongly connected components, indicative of norms of generalized reciprocity. The interaction patterns in BN groups are similar to other local online gift-giving groups, with names containing terms such as `free stuff" and `pay it forward". This points to an interaction signature for local online gift-giving communities.
