Compared with accounts its own size

Carol M. Swain, PhD's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,899 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 72% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,701 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 104,204 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 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.

    Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and thousands of BLM supporters got together last night in a vigil for Jason Arday. Placards about racism everywhere! Have all those people read the ‘professor’s’ work? Do they honestly believe he wasn’t a plagiarist after it being proved? What they’re actually saying is it doesn’t matter if he lied because he’s black, and nobody dare criticise him! I want my sane country back. Where’s it gone? 😡

    Greetings 👋 Our God is awesomely good 😊 and all powerful. Share what He means to you! Testify about what He has done in your life. “The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory. Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, Who boast of idols.
Worship Him, all you gods. Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord. For You, Lord, are most high above all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.” Psalm 97: 5-9 (NKJV). #bibleverse #God #Jesus #power

    Greetings 👋 God wants us to be still long enough to hear His still small voice. I struggle with being still and quiet. How about you? Can we be still long enough to get our marching orders? “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 ( NIV). #Bibleverse #peace #quietness #GodMorning‌Saturday

    Greetings 👋 We can take comfort in the fact that there is no God like our God. How has he shown himself strong in your life? “Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” Psalm 33: 8-12 (NKJV). #bibleverse #psalm33 #Christian #Jew

Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.048%, Carol M. Swain, PhD 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 @carolmswain have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 40% 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.

Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
