For each day, data are normalized by the number of active users at that date. As a reference, the horizontal line corresponds to 50% of emitted/received tweets. Note that, on , less than 1% of the nodes receive half of the messages. On the contrary, the pattern of tweets sent hardly evolves from the beginning of the movement: 10% of the active nodes produce 50% of the messages. This asymmetry is coherent with the differences observed for the strength distributions.
