A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 429K followers, an engagement rate of 0.057%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 58% of 3,917 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 24K times each, and 1.01% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.62% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 65% carry an image or video and 35% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 54x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #boston, #breaking.

Compared with accounts its own size

John E Deaton's engagement rate beats 58% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 50% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,856 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 97,248 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 12:00 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.

    Risk management 101—every exposure should have a limit, even when you’re sure nothing could go wrong. After all, the Titanic sank and AAA mortgage bonds went to zero. I worry about the market’s (and the economy’s) unlimited appetite for exposure to the positive AI revenue story.

    This is exactly what the American tech workforce is competing against: A hidden recruitment network where U.S. jobs circulate through visa-targeted channels before most Americans ever know they exist. Here, a recruiter advertising a TCS onsite role in Burlington, MA doesn't say, “Qualified candidates needed.” It says: “Need H1b.” Sorry Americans, you are not allowed to apply..

    Medicare for All. Abolish ICE. Tax the Rich. We don't just need a democratic majority in the Senate. We need a progressive majority to deliver on the most pressing issues of our time.

    Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is calling for the state to end Proposition 2½, the long-standing law that caps how much cities and towns can raise property taxes each year. She’s arguing that the 2.5% limit is making it harder for municipalities to keep up with rising costs for schools, public safety, infrastructure, and everything else while budgets stay tight. The law that keeps property tax hikes in check is under attack. Are you okay with that?

    At a time of historic income and wealth inequality, we need leaders in Congress who stand with working families, not billionaires. We need leaders who will fight for Medicare for All and raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Ed Markey is that leader. https://t.co/6cnpXNBGPC

What is John E Deaton's engagement rate on X?
John E Deaton (@JohnEDeaton1) has an engagement rate of 0.057%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 428,661 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.057%, John E Deaton sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,856 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 @JohnEDeaton1 have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 58% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,917 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 @JohnEDeaton1 post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.87 posts per day across the measured window.
