Measured over 52 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 23, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 37 interactions against 48K followers, an engagement rate of 0.078%. Measured over 52 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 20,445 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 474 times each, and 7.81% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.998% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 52 posts sampled, 79% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 52% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 114 interactions, about 3.1x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #adiws, #stopcircussuffering, #halloween.

Compared with accounts its own size
ADI's engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,445 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 89% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.078%, ADI sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 79% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 52% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 79% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 52% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 285 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

23 ELEPHANTS KILLED IN CELEBRATION Botswana celebrated its 60 years of independence by killing 23 elephants and other wildlife as part of the festivities. Independence should be celebrated but not with the needless murder of wildlife #elephants https://t.co/A76z5Wr7eu

Lupe was rescued from a circus in Guatemala & has suffered from seizures, believed to be the result of in-breeding possibly made worse by early age malnutrition. Despite the best possible care there are restrictions on what she can do. Help us build her a new habitat at ADIWS! https://t.co/uyEg7wePyL

Colombia still allows the cruel rabbit pyrogen test, despite the availability of alternatives. INVIMA states these alternatives are sometimes accepted, but has given no indication of a complete replacement. US action can help drive change in Colombia: https://t.co/DbdFsd6EM2 https://t.co/JtgRPdphVE

The FDA & USP still permit the use of the rabbit pyrogen test in the US. Meanwhile, the test is no longer allowed in the UK or EU as it is unreliable, unethical, & can be replaced with the non-animal monocyte activation test. ADI has written to members of Congress urging action. https://t.co/1KsRic0YcH

- What is ADI's engagement rate on X?
- ADI (@AnimalDefenders) has an engagement rate of 0.078%, based on the median interactions across 52 original posts from the last 30 days against 47,518 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.078%, ADI sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @AnimalDefenders have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,445 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @AnimalDefenders post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
