Engagement
A typical post picks up 490 interactions against 1.7M followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 636 original posts, its engagement rate beats 50% of 20,444 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 35K times each, and 1.40% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.06% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 33.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 636 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 205K interactions, about 243x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Defiant L’s's engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 57% 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.

At 0.029%, Defiant L’s sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,583 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 22:00 UTC, and Saturday 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 | 98% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 38% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 98% 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.
- 38% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 253 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.

I caught NYPD traffic ticketing only non muslims outside New York's biggest mosque that governor Kathy Hochul just spoke at. Me: I noticed you're giving this car a ticket, what about all the muslim taxi drivers that are double parked? NYPD traffic officer: They are allowed to double park in the time of Salah (prayer) It starts with parking tickets and it ends with much more significant crimes.

🚨#BREAKING: A man who was driving home from work, found an elderly woman was FACE DOWN in the middle of the road in a puddle.. ...he pulled over, sprinted to her and helped her get up and likely saved her life The man's name is Ryan Carter. He was driving home from work in Martin County, Florida, when he saw something in the road that didn't look right. It was an elderly woman. She'd hit a water-filled pothole with her walker and gone down face-first into it. She was still strapped into the seat of her rolling walker. Face down. In the water. Nobody else had stopped. Ryan had recently taken a class on Florida's Good Samaritan law. So before he touched her, he started recording on his glasses. Not for clout. To protect her, and to protect himself, so he could help her the right way. Then he got down next to her and asked what she needed. She couldn't move… and she still didn't want to be a burden to anybody. 💔 So he stayed calm, talked her through it, counted her down, and lifted her out from under her arms. He got her seated. He pushed her away from the hole. Then he told her he was going to get her a cup of water. He drove her home himself. Then he CALLED HER LATER to make sure she was okay. "I saw somebody in a desperate situation, and I just wanted to be the hand that she could depend on." When he got home, he mentioned it to his wife like it was nothing. She watched the footage and realized he hadn't just helped that woman... he may have saved her life. GOD BLESS THIS RYAN CARTER, THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🚨#BREAKING: A Black female caregiver has now been ARRESTED after a daughter drove HUNDREDS of miles to check on her sick 75-year-old father... only to find the locks changed and a Ring camera on his door. When she climbed through a window to reach her own dad, SHE got arrested for trespassing. Then she was told, THROUGH THE DOORBELL, that he was no longer alive and that the NURSE who "took care of him" actually now OWNED HER DAD'S HOUSE. This happened in Conway, South Carolina, and it will make your blood boil. Her name is Nora Rowland. His name was Robert Rowland. His friends called him Bob. He was 75, living in Conway, with Parkinson's and a brain injury. Classified by the state as a vulnerable adult. His daughter Nora is a daddy's girl. They FaceTimed every week. In March 2024, a caregiver named Sarah Smalls started coming to the house through Griswold Home Care. Within WEEKS, Bob was moved into a senior living facility. By April, Smalls had power of attorney. On April 17th, a quitclaim deed transferred Bob's home to Smalls. ...for FIVE DOLLARS!!!!!!!! The notary on the deed? Her SISTER. Then, police say, she started draining his accounts. More than $17,000 in cash withdrawals. Transfers to her Cash App. Money kept moving even after he was NO LONGER LIVING!!!!!!! In May, she allegedly lied on federal housing forms, swearing she had no assets, no real estate, no cash... while sitting on a FREE HOUSE!!!!!! Nora stopped hearing from her dad. Father's Day came and went. Silence. So she got in the car and drove from Maryland. New locks on the front door. A Ring camera that hadn't been there before. She pressed the button. Smalls answered through the speaker. "This isn't the way that I wanted to tell you, but your dad is de*d, and there's a bunch of other stuff I have to tell you too. Just wait there." Nora climbed through the emergency window. Her dad's house was gone. Photos of strangers on the walls. Rooms painted highlighter orange. A whole new family moved in. Then Smalls came home and called the police. ...on the daughter. "They put me and my partner in handcuffs immediately," Nora said. "I just kept saying, 'I don't know what's going on; this is my dad's house. My dad is dead.'" Conway police charged her with second-degree burglary. For entering her FATHER'S HOME!!!!!! A neighbor told them on bodycam he'd been worried for weeks. Furniture moving out. Bob disappearing. "You could've talked him into just about anything." He said he'd even called senior services. Nobody listened. AND IT GETS WORSE. It took TWO YEARS before anyone was charged. Monday, Conway police finally arrested Smalls. Breach of trust. Perjury. Exploitation of a vulnerable adult. Tuesday, a judge set bond: $20,000, $20,000, and $5,000. She posted it and walked out that afternoon Her first court date is December 11th. She's home free until then. Nora is STILL in civil court fighting to get her father's house back. The deed is still in the caretakers name... ...EVEN THOUGH SHE IS CHARGED WITH EXPLOITING THE VERY MAN SHE TOOK THE HOUSE FROM!!!!!!

- What is Defiant L’s's engagement rate on X?
- Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 636 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,706,623 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.029%, Defiant L’s sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,583 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 @DefiantLs have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 50% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 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 @DefiantLs post?
- Most posts go out around 22:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 33.87 posts per day across the measured window.
