This is a new paper, published a couple of weeks ago. (Sorry if
it's been mentioned before, I couldn't see a related thread.)

Principal findings:
We find that administrators maintain a rather neutral, impersonal
tone, while regular editors are more emotional and
relationship-oriented, that is, they use language to form and
maintain connections to other editors. *A persistent gender
difference is that female contributors communicate in a manner
that promotes social affiliation and emotional connection more
than male editors, irrespective of their status in the community.
Female regular editors are the most relationship-oriented,
whereas male administrators are the least relationship-focused.*
Finally, emotional and linguistic homophily is prevalent: editors
tend to interact with other editors having similar emotional
styles (e.g., editors expressing more anger connect more with one
another).
