Engagement
A typical post picks up 234 interactions against 429K followers, an engagement rate of 0.054%. Measured over 34 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% of 21,185 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 19K times each, and 1.21% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.50% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 34 posts sampled, 65% carry an image or video and 32% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 56x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #deaton, #mapoli, #masen.

Compared with accounts its own size
John E Deaton's engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 52% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Monday 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 | 65% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 32% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 65% 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.
- 32% 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 279 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.

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..

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

Dorchester. Thanks for the great turnout today. Status quo politics and status quo policies are not working. We have to fight for an agenda that works for all, not just the few. That’s exactly why we need to send Ed Markey back to the United States Senate. https://t.co/rx8q3dyaC6

- What is John E Deaton's engagement rate on X?
- John E Deaton (@JohnEDeaton1) has an engagement rate of 0.054%, based on the median interactions across 34 original posts from the last 30 days against 429,064 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.054%, John E Deaton sits above the 25th percentile of the 212,825 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 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.67 posts per day across the measured window.
