A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 860K followers, an engagement rate of 0.123%. Measured over 91 original posts, its engagement rate beats 76% of 3,791 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 67K times each, and 1.56% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.75% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 91 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 43% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 10x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #aspiringbillionaires, #omarchy, #theygrowupsofast.

Compared with accounts its own size

DHH's engagement rate beats 76% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 63% 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

At 0.123%, DHH sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.433%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.

    You can take your pompous code of conduct and send it into the sun. It was the CoC legalese and weasel language that armed the woke inquisition in the last turning. Never again. https://t.co/nb3mEr8QOY

    Having "fuck you" money is great. It allows you to say "no, we're not doing it like that anymore", and then just not.

    I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, ideas, creativity, and contributions that are flooding in for Omarchy. Never experienced anything like this. Ruby on Rails took years to grow the kind of wings we now have for this project 🪽

    Omarchy is not going to adopt a formal Code of Conduct because those turned out to be struggle-session processes in the last turning. But we are going to play nice. We're going to be courteous, professional, and composed in our direct interactions with users, competitors, and even haters. Because that's what's going to pave the path to the win. That does not mean we have to act as vendors. Nobody is entitled to anyone else's free time or volunteer contributions. And we're not going to tolerate people who act like entitled customers buying a service contract from a company. Because we don't sell one, and we aren't one. This is going to be difficult sometimes. Because people are unreasonable! Especially on the internet! But if you return fire with fire, the only thing that'll burn is our reputation. The troll who triggered you into flashing your teeth won't face any consequences, but every spectator who saw it will judge you. I'm not going to tell you how to act anywhere else. You don't owe this organization a suit-and-tie demeanor at all times either. It's fine to be quirky, irreverent, silly, and even occasionally get upset. You do you. But when you're engaging with our fast-growing community, please keep these thoughts in mind. That's how we play nice but win. --- Posted this to the fast-growing Omarchy army of volunteers on our internal Basecamp.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 1.0K interactions against 860K followers, an engagement rate of 0.123%. Measured over 91 original posts, its engagement rate beats 76% of 3,791 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 67K times each, and 1.56% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.75% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 91 posts sampled, 63% carry an image or video, 13% are part of a thread and 43% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 11K interactions, about 10x its own typical post.

What is DHH's engagement rate on X?
DHH (@dhh) has an engagement rate of 0.123%, based on the median interactions across 91 original posts from the last 30 days against 860,025 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.123%, DHH sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 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 @dhh have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 76% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size 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 @dhh post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.33 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
