Something odd is going on with #reddit's subreddit "the_donald." Here are four graphs showing the past 240 days of comment activity by hour of day. There appears to be some odd behavior within the_donald -- looking into it more.

As expected, there is a shift for /r/ukpolitics for the min and max peak periods. /r/politics and Reddit globally appear to be dominated by commenters on the east coast. What is odd is that /r/the_donald does not fall off late at night like the others -- timezone may be in Russia

What I'd like to do next is take only the top 5-10% of the most active commenters within /r/the_donald and see if the graph shifts towards European timezones.

Yeah, that's the only difference I noticed is the far right (no pun intended) of the graph (later in the evening) does not tail off as quickly as with the other subreddits. It could be a sample size effect though.
