When several communities start talking about the same event at the same time, we group those threads into one story and publish this page, then refresh it while the story keeps rising. The counts are ours; everything said about the event itself is quoted and credited to the post or outlet it comes from. Claims in Reddit posts are unverified unless an outlet confirms them.
