Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 2.7K interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.249%. Posts are seen about 418K times each, and 0.653% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 38.1% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.43 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 00:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video and 17% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 58K interactions, about 21x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 00:00 UTC, and Sunday 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.

If you are not willing to kill or die for your own most treasured values, you should think carefully before welcoming in migrants who would do both for theirs.

Those of us bitterly opposed to communism fall into two different groups. A) Those who argue that it must be abandoned because it has show us that it doesn’t work. B) Those of us that are so bitterly opposed to collectivism applied to dissenting individuals that we are relieved that it *cannot* work. A happy accident. Those who don’t care if it *could* be made to work: we’d continue to fight it. Working or not working is irrelevant. It’s just bad. Period. The end. If Communism could actually be shown to deliver stable high levels of growth and innovation, broadly distributed, with low inequality, I believe I would still fight it to my dying breath. My opposition to communism has little to nothing to do with the fact that it doesn’t work as an economic system. So, it’s merely a relief that it doesn’t work. A convenience for its opposition. Communism and collectivism are intrinsically soul killing for people who are hyper-individualistic . So let’s stop hiding behind the fact that they don’t work as economic or governance systems. Some of us who aren’t the biggest fans of naked capitalism red of tooth and claw, hate communism not because we think capitalism is intrinsically fair. It isn’t. We oppose it because communism hunts the individual. For us, It’s not communism vs capitalism. That is a businessman’s argument. Instead, it’s communism vs individualism for me. Show me a system that fights harder to let a dissenting individual thrive more than brutal market capitalism (which also barely works), and I am all ears. Not everything is a market after all.

No one is in academia for the money. Almost no one is in academia for the prestige. The only reason to be in academia is because you have a compulsive need to pursue the truth. If we can't call out bad actors, what are we even doing?
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.
