Engagement
A typical post picks up 161 interactions against 285K followers, an engagement rate of 0.057%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 48% of 21,397 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 1.03% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 5.49% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 48% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 52% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 18K interactions, about 112x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #eritrea, #eritrean, #ethiopia.

Compared with accounts its own size
Geoffrey York's engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,397 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 43% 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 12:00 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 | 48% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 52% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 48% 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.
- 52% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 434 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
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.

The Trump administration is baffled by the "lower than expected" applications to its "refugee program" for Afrikaners, so it wants to spent $335,000 on advertising. I can save them some money. Applications are low because the "white genocide" is fictional. https://t.co/F1Oo7Vv0Qf

The tragedy of the African elite is that they conflate China's engineering capacity at home with its intentions abroad. When Uganda hands over a multimillion dollar infrastructure project to Beijing, they do so under the naive delusion that they are buying the same world class efficiency seen in Shanghai or Shenzhen. But they miss the fundamental point, China builds for China; they merely extract from Africa. Here, it is strictly a game of unmitigated profit. It is a cynical exercise in cutting corners, leveraging substandard materials, and deploying subpar construction techniques to maximize their margins. They know our corrupt systems will never hold them to account, so they give us infrastructure built to expire before the loans are even repaid. Eng. Ronald Balimwezo's confrontation is a brave, proper stance of leadership, but one man isn't enough. Every system in Uganda, and every system across Africa, needs to be that strict and confrontational with Chinese companies, miners, and businesses, if the continent is to protect itself.

Breaking news from Durban — the Visa & Permit Facilitation Centre, VFS Global, smashed. Glass on the floor. Counters broken. Computers on the floor. Zulus did it. Let's think about this for a second. You spend every day shouting: "Illegal foreigners! They have no documents!" Then when there is a centre whose whole job is to DOCUMENT people, to check permits, to process visas, to separate the legal from the illegal — you go and destroy it. So what do you actually want?~@Mzanziawake ~Speaks

- What is Geoffrey York's engagement rate on X?
- Geoffrey York (@geoffreyyork) has an engagement rate of 0.057%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 285,163 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.057%, Geoffrey York sits above the 25th percentile of the 214,287 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 @geoffreyyork have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,397 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. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @geoffreyyork post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
