Engagement
A typical post picks up 324 interactions against 877K followers, an engagement rate of 0.037%. Measured over 110 original posts, its engagement rate beats 54% 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 28K times each, and 1.15% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 110 posts sampled, 19% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 42x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate beats 54% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 05:00 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.

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 | 19% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 19% 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.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 406 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.

Bally Bagayoko n’est pas le seul ! La RATP a fait bénéficier à 200 élus d’un emploi à temps plein, mais pas trop prenant, pour les aider à exercer facilement leur mandat en échange de leur soutien. Une information « que tout le monde connaît », admet le député LFI de Paris Rodrigo Arenas. Surtout depuis que « Le Canard » l’a publiée. https://t.co/EvtLeaPS5s

Depuis les révélations du « Canard » sur l’emploi à plein temps accordé par la RATP à Bally Bagayoko, Jean-Luc Mélenchon et plusieurs cadres LFI s’en prennent au Palmipède en se gardant bien d’évoquer le fond de l’affaire : un échange de bons procédés qui a permis à l’élu de bénéficier d’un boulot pas trop prenant, et à la Régie de disposer d’un relais politique en Seine-Saint-Denis. Pour faire diversion, rien ne vaut le bruit et la fureur ! ➡ https://t.co/q0hMHXzPmm

🔴 « Le Canard » a mis la palme sur un rapport encore confidentiel d’une mission de l’Education nationale qui devait faire la lumière sur le scandale du périscolaire à Paris. La mission a découvert que la personne en charge de recruter les animateurs avait demandé aux parents de garder secrète la suspension du responsable éducatif de l’école après une plainte contre X pour agression sexuelle. La maternelle abritait aussi deux autres pédocriminels présumés. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? https://t.co/b26pUaFbSG

Depuis les articles du « Canard » sur l’emploi exercé à la RATP par Bally Bagayoko avant son élection à la mairie de Saint-Denis, le Palmipède est attaqué pour des choses qu’il n’a pas écrites. Reste des questions simples. L’élu Insoumis a-t-il oui ou non bénéficié d’un traitement de faveur pour décrocher son emploi à la RATP ? La Régie l’a-t-elle oui ou non rémunéré en douce durant une partie du temps consacré à l’exercice de ses mandats ? « Le Canard » revient sur le dossier après avoir contacté à nouveau le principal intéressé ⤵ https://t.co/vEN4Rg8dIT

La nièce est de retour au RN ! Et ce n’est sûrement pas dû à ses réussites : une veste aux municipales en 2014, une autre aux régionales de 2015, un ralliement raté à Zemmour en 2022, sans parler de son école sans étudiants ou presque et de son think tank qui ne réfléchit pas à grand-chose… Qu’importe, pour Marine Le Pen, ces retrouvailles sont une bonne occasion de rappeler à Jordan Bardella que c’est le clan Le Pen qui fait la loi au RN. https://t.co/1KIcRyIFLJ

La fraude à l’assurance maladie « provient essentiellement de professionnels de santé ». C’est la conclusion principale d’un rapport de l’Inspection des finances et l’Igas mis en ligne fin juillet. Une information que le gouvernement gardait bien au chaud depuis plus d'un an. ➡ https://t.co/nsWXepyDAf

💬 « On a l’impression que quelque chose nous échappe. » Sans blague ! A Matignon on n’en mène pas large après le vol de données fiscales de 700 000 Français. D’autant plus que les problèmes étaient connus. Au moins deux rapports publiés ces dernières années et exhumés par « Le Canard » avertissaient Bercy de « failles structurelles » et de « faiblesses liées à l’ancienneté » du matériel et des logiciels utilisés. Des milliards d'euros ont pourtant été dépensés dans la sécurité, sans grand effet… ➡ https://t.co/jlnqywqZSQ

L'eau potable de trois villages savoyards est polluée à l’uranium. L’ARS, au courant dès le mois d’avril, n’a réagi et prononcé une interdiction de consommer l’eau du robinet qu’avec plusieurs mois de retard. Mise au pied du mur, l’Agence répond benoîtement aujourd’hui qu’« aucune alerte automatique » ne lui a « été transmise » par les instruments de mesure. Vous reprendrez bien un verre de sirop d’uranium ? https://t.co/dQdJiDplxw

50 kits de dégustation de vin de Blaye, une bouteille de champagne à 88 euros, 3 941 euros de chauffeur privé… 240 000 euros de factures de la campagne des européennes de 2024 ne seront pas remboursés à Jordan Bardella et au RN. Ainsi en a décidé la justice. Ces frais ont été jugés sans lien avec la course aux électeurs. ➡ https://t.co/rX7JW2VJdo

💬 « Il ne peut pas affirmer qu’il ignorait qu’une telle opération était répréhensible », écrit la cour d’appel de Douai qui vient de confirmer la condamnation d’Alain Griset, l’ex-sous-ministre de Macron aux PME. L’intéressé était accusé d’avoir viré 130 000 euros du syndicat professionnel qu’il dirigeait vers son propre PEA. Pourquoi se gêner ? ➡ https://t.co/ZP60OYICiQ

A typical post picks up 324 interactions against 877K followers, an engagement rate of 0.037%. Measured over 110 original posts, its engagement rate beats 54% 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 28K times each, and 1.15% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.21% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is Le Canard enchaîné's engagement rate on X?
- Le Canard enchaîné (@canardenchaine) has an engagement rate of 0.037%, based on the median interactions across 110 original posts from the last 30 days against 876,661 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.037%, Le Canard enchaîné sits above the 25th 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 @canardenchaine have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 54% 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 @canardenchaine post?
- Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.73 posts per day across the measured window.
