Christopher Rufo engagement report
@christopherrufo - 859K followers on X
Measured over 15 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 859K followers, an engagement rate of 0.126%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 76% of 15,519 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 71K times each, and 1.53% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 8.23% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 47% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 15 posts sampled, 87% carry an image or video and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 17K interactions, about 15x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Christopher Rufo's engagement rate beats 76% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 61% 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 15:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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 | 87% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 13% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | -3% | -3% to -2% | 54K |
- 87% 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.
- 13% 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 115 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below 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.

The DEI regime killed Jason Arday. Cambridge liberals were so desperate for a racial fairy tale, they elevated a man who could only meet the standards through fraud, then abandoned him when they started feeling embarrassed. Sad, predictable end to a story with only villains. RIP.

You can have a visible sickle and hammer tattoo in the United States of America and it probably won’t hold you back from most corporate roles. Like, you can just be a regular white collar email job-haver with a visible sickle and hammer tattoo. Just think of all the ordinary things you cannot say in polite company — indisputably true things — while your coworker has a visible sickle and hammer tattoo. You can imply that you understand why that healthcare CEO got shot in front of your coworkers in the break room and you’re probably not going to get fired. You could probably joke around about killing all billionaires at work and not get fired. You can definitely engage in whatever insane, dysfunctional, deviant, sexual degeneracy you want and not only is there no chance you’ll be fired, it’s probably protected by law. You could be a guy working in a customer service role and come to work in full face make-up and dressed like a woman and, again, your employer will probably feel like they are legally and socially required to accommodate you. Just think of all the ordinary, boring, and incontrovertible things you cannot, on the other hand, stay at work. In most workplaces, you can probably hang a Black Lives Matter flag or a pride flag at your cubicle and this kind of explicitly political statement will almost certainly be tolerated. There’s just no equivalent. No equivalent at all. We live in a progressive culture. The institutions are progressive, the law is progressive, the media you consume is progressive. There’s no comparison.

Wokeness obviously didn't end. Whatever retreat it experienced didn't mean that the perpetrators changed their minds and saw reason; they're as evil as ever and they're still here all the same.
