This is a perfect example of what I am trying to convey to you.

What you are seeing are basically three groups of nodes with low degree
around nodes with high in-degree, in addition to some smaller groups. Any
random graph with the same degree sequence will admit similar partitions,
although they carry no meaning from a generative point of view. You can
check this by randomizing your graph with random_rewire() and then obtaining
the partition again with the same method. You will probably see a similar
division. In other words, these are not statistically significant
communities; they arise out of random fluctuations.

Best,
Tiago
