Engagement
A typical post picks up 294 interactions against 561K followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 15 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 3,899 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
Marc Lamont Hill's engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 45% 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 02:00 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.

One of the most compelling pieces of propaganda produced by the US state was the “totalitarian” and “authoritarian” discourse that conflated communism and fascism, starting in the late 1930s. Its purpose was to construe anything other than Western “democracy” as dangerous and in need of eradication.

No, Mumia should not have signed that stupid letter that was in the Guardian. No, he is not a fed or an agent of the state department. This has been the voice of reason and common sense.

- What is Marc Lamont Hill's engagement rate on X?
- Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) has an engagement rate of 0.052%, based on the median interactions across 15 original posts from the last 30 days against 560,842 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.052%, Marc Lamont Hill sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,701 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 @marclamonthill have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 @marclamonthill post?
- Most posts go out around 02:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.53 posts per day across the measured window.
