Miguel de Icaza α― π engagement report
@migueldeicaza - 99K followers on X
Measured over 32 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 20, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 894 interactions against 99K followers, an engagement rate of 0.9%. Measured over 32 original posts, its engagement rate beats 87% of 3,775 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 94K times each, and 0.953% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 94.4% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 32 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 44% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 47K interactions, about 53x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Miguel de Icaza α― π's engagement rate beats 87% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,775 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 42% 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 16:00 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.

Hasan Piker makes a statement on whether he will campaign with Angie Nixon: "Going forward, this is an Angie Nixon stan account. If Angie Nixon wants our help, we'll be there for her. If she wants it to be, on the background, I will do that. If she says, 'I don't know Hasan Piker. I don't want him anywhere near,' I will never touch the state of Florida. I will never bring it up. Whatever she wants, we are her loyal soldiers, okay?"

π₯NEW: Ex-Biden Aide Michael LaRosa *FIRES BACK* at Michigan Dem C-SPAN Caller who rips him for attacking Abdul El-Sayedπ₯ Caller: "As a Democratic strategist coming on a national program, I think thatβs totally UNACCEPTABLE β and I think that youβre doing a DISSERVICE!" LaRosa: "I could NEVER support El-Sayed ... if you're too COWARDLY and too WEAK to stand up to somebody who JUSTIFIES terrorism, 9/11, the suffering of people ... this guy doesnβt have it in him to say itβs WRONG to say that." "The test of leadership is NOT standing up to the other side. Thatβs EASY to do. It's standing up to your FRIENDS. And he's too much of a COWARD to do it." Major props to Michael LaRosa for putting his principles over his party. It shows true courage. He's taking tons of heat from his own side β including multiple callers during his appearance here on @cspanwj.
