Using this data, we conduct an extensive investigation into the phenomenon of homophily in the generation of hate speech on Twitter, shedding light on an essential aspect of understanding online hate speech dynamics. We introduce innovative methods to detect multiple forms of hate speech, including manifestations of racism and sexism. Furthermore, we propose and validate novel measures for quantifying familiarity and similarity on Twitter, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the interactions among users.
