Ulil Abshar-Abdalla engagement report
@ulil - 694K followers on X
Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 2, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 5.4K interactions against 694K followers, an engagement rate of 0.784%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 95% of 20,444 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 83K times each, and 6.55% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 12.0% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 140K interactions, about 26x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ulil Abshar-Abdalla's engagement rate beats 95% 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 94% 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

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 91% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 27% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 91% 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.
- 27% 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 278 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.

Gane o pierda el Mundial,Messi es el gran perdedor del torneo. Gracias a este Mundial el mundo abrió los ojos y su leyenda ha caído en el cajón de los tramposos como Armstrong, Marion Jones o J Mühlegg. Es un antes y un después. Podrá ganar la Copa, pero el respeto ya lo perdió. https://t.co/HL0Wu3RxTv

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me. Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so. Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to. Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions. Why? If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others. Truth does not need censorship. If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher. You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home. The double standard needs to be called out.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism. And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel. https://t.co/xUqPAHxsab https://t.co/nERDLawBPK

It seems my tweet has upset many Argentinians. Gentlemen, if it's in FIFA's interest for Argentina to qualify so they can continue profiting from marketing, and for them to win so the Argentine Football Association can receive more prize money, which FIFA then invests in shell companies to collect its share, that's not my fault. And if journalists expose these things, that's not my fault either. And if Infantino appears in photos beaming with joy when Messi scores, and states in interviews that he's worried when Argentina struggles, and awards him Ballon d'Or trophies while he's playing in the MLS, and if Bezarp is told the day before a match who should receive the award, that's not my fault either. And if there are calls in Europe to investigate Infantino for corruption, that's not my fault either. And if the whole world (except for Argentinians and Barcelona fans) feels that the last World Cup was a robbery, that's not my fault either. If you think that the 39-year-old Messi in the MLS is better than the Messi of his prime with Barcelona, who didn't win a single title and even "retired" from his national team (which, by the way, was far superior to him), then all is well. Rejoice and celebrate! Lionel Messi and Argentina are the worst thing that has ever happened to football. They disgust me 🤮🤮🤮🤮. This isn't a campaign against Messi or Argentina. People are simply demanding a fair, exciting, and surprising World Cup... And they've been denied that. People are fed up.

I cannot remember the United States ever apologising for "overcapacity" when it was the world's leading industrial power. Should Italy apologise for its overcapacity in fashion, France for its overcapacity in wine, the UK for its overcapacity in financial services, or Belgium for its overcapacity in chocolate? *** The real challenge of our time is that centuries of Western dominance have come to an end, and there is a need to adjust to a multipolar world.

The Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "Egypt charges hundreds of thousands of dollars for every passage through the Suez Canal, with fees exceeding one million dollars for large container ships and tankers. Turkey imposes transit fees for vessels passing through the Bosphorus Strait. Canada charges fees for the St. Lawrence Seaway. Panama collects hundreds of thousands of dollars per transit, reaching up to 500,000 dollars for large Neo-Panamax vessels. The United States also charges fees related to the St. Lawrence Seaway. Yet when Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz open for free passage for decades, without imposing any transit fees, despite facing sanctions, isolation, and relentless accusations, it is portrayed as the problem. Isn’t it hypocritical to condemn Iran while ignoring the fact that many other countries profit from controlling vital waterways? And you still expect me to believe that Iran is the ‘bad guy’ here?"

How Indonesian “justice” works: —Arrest Nadiem with no evidence of wrongdoing as he tried to reform the country as a minister. —Prosecutor loses face in court due to the ridiculousness of the case. —To save face, the judge gives Nadiem 10 years in jail anyway. —Next step? Nadiem is likely released on a presidential intervention. Indonesia is a laughing stock on the global stage.
