A typical post picks up 111 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% 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 9.6K times each, and 1.15% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.536% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 29 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 10K interactions, about 104x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #dailythought, #padkos4life, #socialjusticesummit.

Compared with accounts its own size

Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds's engagement rate beats 28% 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 51% 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 0.006%, Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,880 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 09:00 UTC.

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.

  • 66% 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.
  • 0% 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 270 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.

    𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶-𝗬𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁: Many people have wondered how five-month-old Lamine Yamal, born into an ordinary, working-class family with no influential football connections, ended up in a photoshoot with Lionel Messi. The answer is beautifully simple: PURE CHANCE In late 2007, the Spanish newspaper Sport and UNICEF were producing a charity calendar featuring Barcelona players with babies. Yamal’s parents entered him into a public raffle, and he was among the children randomly selected. Messi, then a shy 20-year-old rising star, happened to be the Barcelona player assigned to their session. The shoot took place at Camp Nou, where photographer Joan Monfort captured Messi holding and gently bathing baby Lamine as his mother watched nearby. Nobody involved knew that the child would later join Barcelona, wear the iconic No. 10 and become one of football’s biggest stars. The photos remained largely forgotten until Yamal’s rise brought them back into the spotlight. Now, nearly two decades later, that anonymous baby and the young footballer holding him will lead Spain and Argentina against each other in the 2026 World Cup Final. No influence. No special connections. Just a raffle, a charity photoshoot and a coincidence that now feels like destiny. #Fıfaworldcup #lionelmessi #lamineyamal #ARGvsESP

    Today, 2 weeks ago, exactly 24 hours since hearing my Permanent Life Partner, Richard Edward Foxton (Dick/Fox), say “Good bye Darling” following “I love you with all my life” as my plane took off from Amsterdam, I heard his erstwhile carer say “Fox is no more”. Thank you for your support💔🙏🏽❤️

    I have discovered that some of the most damaged and evil people who walk among us hide behind Christianity, punctuating every sentence with God or bible references and even virtue signalling on their e-mail signatures. Don’t be fooled by such wolves in sheepskin #JustAThough🫶🏽

    When someone has no interest in the truth no amount of evidence based truth will sway them and in fact they typically already know the truth but are using lies to gaslight you and to corrupt public opinion against you #DailyThought💡 #Padkos4Life🦋

A typical post picks up 111 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.006%. Measured over 29 original posts, its engagement rate beats 28% 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 9.6K times each, and 1.15% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

What is Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds's engagement rate on X?
Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds (@ThuliMadonsela3) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 29 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,794,338 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,880 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 @ThuliMadonsela3 have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 28% 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 @ThuliMadonsela3 post?
Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.2 posts per day across the measured window.
