Colin Wright engagement report
@SwipeWright - 299K followers on X
Measured over 8 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 5, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 880 interactions against 299K followers, an engagement rate of 0.294%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 80% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 25K times each, and 3.55% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.29% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 38% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.4K interactions, about 8.4x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Colin Wright's engagement rate beats 80% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 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 81% 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 0.294%, Colin Wright sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.1% to 0.499%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Friday 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 | 63% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 38% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 63% 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 619 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.

Seeing lots of surprised reactions to the absurd Nature editorial on Jason Arday. Frankly, I'm surprised people are surprised. Nature has been totally captured by wokeness for a while now. I've been trying to call attention to this for nearly a decade. There are no serious scholars left there in influential positions capable of rescuing it. The people in charge of Nature today are brazenly hostile to the foundational principles that made Nature a highly respected and trustworthy institution in the first place. Today, activists have hijacked it and are using the prestige associated with the Nature brand to push an ideological agenda. They don't care that they're quickly burning through the immense trust that was slowly and painstakingly built by generations of competent scholars and stewardship. They're willing to burn through it all in a decade for power. It's an absolute tragedy. Nature has gone all-in on decoloniality, which holds that academic rigor and scientific objectivity are forms of colonial oppression rooted in white supremacy. It seeks to elevate Indigenous "ways of knowing," which amount to tribal myths and forms of religious mysticism, as an equally valid system of producing knowledge. And they don't want this absurd notion to remain theoretical; they want to implement these principles in areas that deal with life and death—medicine and nursing. I know what I'm saying sounds absurd. People can't possibly believe that. Like, I must be exaggerating, right? I promise you that I'm not. If anything, I'm dramatically understating the problem. We are in the midst of a total academic crisis, and we need to stop acting surprised and start taking action to delegitimize these journals and root these fields out of our public and publicly-funded institutions. If we don't, it's only going to get worse.

Bluesky users are trying (and failing) to debunk our HHS study, which was preregistered and uses real data, clearly articulated questions, and sound statistical analyses. Yet they have no problem with a Cambridge PhD thesis based in autoethnography and "Critical Poetic Inquiry" with a sample size of 3. 🙃

The woman who murdered the victim was "known" to police as having mental health issues. The issue then, once again, is the failure of mental health treatment and "services." We're doing it wrong. And now two women are dead, one quite undeservedly. https://t.co/QVHlmiq9Ii

Please consider signing this petition urging the WNBA to implement female-only eligibility criteria! This petition was started by three-time Olympic gold medalist @Hogshead3Au, and has been endorsed by sports legends Charles Barkley, Martina Navratilova, and many others. From the petition: "The athletes in the WNBA deserve to know that when they step onto the court, they will be competing on a level playing field—without biological males." If this issue is important to you, please consider signing and sharing. 🔗https://t.co/iOmMnkCHX3

Ask Grok: "Create a Magic: The Gathering creature card of me based on my post history." I love the spider wasps! And the nuance in the abilities is also impressive. In Magic, Ward is an ability that taxes your opponent whenever they try to target the card. Seems like this related to being hard to "cancel." The automatic Enchantment counter unless the opponent pays is pretty sweet. And the ability to exile Illusions (debunk nonsense) is on point!

There is a bizarre conspiracy going around Bluesky that we were not the actual authors of the HHS report, and that the HHS is merely "placing the blame" on us "to make the paper look legit." They're encouraging people to alert the listed authors of this supposed fact, and coupling that with what appears to be a threat: "If they do not push back, they will lose everything!" NOTE: We actually authored the report.

Despite this person's use of quotation marks, our HHS report does not, in fact, contain the text: "Supporting dignity for people who are transgender CAUSES support for political violence." We were forthcoming and explicit about our study's inability to establish causation. https://t.co/8v80SJVz3n

This is a great primer on the increasingly heated debate over data centers, and why the panic surrounding their construction is baseless, exaggerated, or lacking in important context. @taylortrandahl highlights the biggest concerns like water use, electricity prices, noise, land use, and environmental impact. But he also looks at the positive flipside you hear much less about: jobs, tax revenue, infrastructure, lower taxes, and the role data centers play in powering the modern economy. There are real tradeoffs here. There are downsides, but they are often manageable and outweighed by the benefits. Let's try to not repeat the old pattern of panicking over the transformative nature of new infrastructure and instead try to figure out how to build it well. Definitely worth a read! 🔗https://t.co/pJDeSydTrr

- What is Colin Wright's engagement rate on X?
- Colin Wright (@SwipeWright) has an engagement rate of 0.294%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 299,013 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.294%, Colin Wright sits above the 50th percentile of the 66,128 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 @SwipeWright have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 80% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size 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 @SwipeWright post?
- Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.07 posts per day across the measured window.
