Engagement
A typical post picks up 282 interactions against 188K followers, an engagement rate of 0.15%. Measured over 28 original posts, its engagement rate beats 67% of 21,185 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 7.4K times each, and 3.80% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.94% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 28 posts sampled, 46% carry an image or video and 18% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 32K interactions, about 115x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Michael Dickson's engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 80% 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 Monday 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 | 46% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 18% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 46% 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.
- 18% 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 432 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.

There was a situation at my daughter’s school last week which left her in tears. I went in to the school the day after to let them know we were removing her with immediate effect. The head teacher tried to explain but I had no interest in her excuses or reasons. The school had a play and an open evening for next year’s new pupils, and my daughter’s class were asked to take the potential new pupils and their parents for a tour of the school and classes. My daughter is the most softly spoken, polite and friendly child you’d probably ever meet. She’s one of just 40 Jewish pupils at the school out of over a thousand children. My wife wanted her to go to a non Jewish school because she felt concerned about the security threats at Jewish schools, and I don’t have much say in the matter as I’m just the dad. Our youngest goes to a Jewish school and the security simply isn’t anywhere good enough. This would be both their last year at school in this country because we’d already made the decision to leave the country before their next school year. My oldest wears a tiny discreet Star of David pendant. It’s so inoffensive to anybody but allows her to express her Jewish faith in a small way. When it was her turn in line to greet the family she would show around, the family was a Muslim family. My daughter has no personal issue with anybody and is friendly with two Muslim girls in her class who aren’t bothered by her being Jewish. But this family clearly were. In front of everyone, the father refused to be shown around by “a Jew”. He apparently, according to several parents and a teacher, raised his voice at her, and demanded that another child show them around. Instead of the head teacher condemning his behavior and telling him to leave, she asked my daughter to step aside and asked another pupil to show them around. Nobody except other parents, non Jewish parents, came to my daughter to ask if she was even ok. She was in a flood of tears, frightened and confused. My wife got a phone call from another parent and insisted she would go fetch our daughter because she already knew what I would do had I gone there myself. But this is what we live in now. This is the new normal. For reasons of what will come next, I won’t name the school. But this is going to escalate, a lot.

Every antizionist who believes they’re “on the right side of history” while defending a dude who literally does Nazi salutes in Jewface needs to realize how profoundly they have been brainwashed into being the foot soldiers of a global anti-Jew agenda without realizing it. https://t.co/Zg6V7z1HF5

As ever, visiting Israel is a kick in the nuts. I hadn't been in 10-15 years. The country has changed so much. 15 years ago, Israel felt like a third world country with bits of the first world. Today it is as developed as Europe or America. 15 years ago outside the airport you had to get a sherut (collective taxi) and haggle with a guy; today there's an app. The trains were so bad that Israelis refused to take them, now they have a (French-built) bullet train. Construction everywhere. Factories, which apparently are legal. This is a prosperous, GROWING country. And then there's the other obvious difference. Kids everywhere. Families everywhere. Little kids running around and being kids is normal. Not just religious Israelis. Something I hadn't noticed has almost disappeared from the West until I saw it here: teenagers hanging out in boy-girl twosomes. Like the proverbial frog in the water, we haven't noticed that the West has become empty of children to an extent that would cause our grandparents to immediately embrace fascism--even to me who is aware of the problem in an abstract sense, the contrast was shocking. We need to win. We need to win because otherwise the West WILL die. The hour is much later than we think.

Now that my exclusion from a writers’ group is public, I’m releasing this statement. The time for staying silent on antisemitism is over. The best way to fight it is to call it out and use the full force of the law. Thanks for all the support. https://t.co/eRe0uJMQc6

Watching Fauda on Netflix brought back a memory I wish I could forget. The horrifying scenes of civilians being killed on October 7 took me back nearly three years, to that morning when I woke up at 6:30 a.m. to the sound of rockets being fired from Gaza. On my way to work, I saw an Israeli 4x4 driving through the streets with an elderly Israeli woman inside, while people around it were cheering. I was devastated and in shock. I wanted to do something, but I couldn’t. I remember thinking: “This is the end.” That day, I posted a tweet condemning October 7. I paid a heavy price for speaking out. Hamas made sure of that.

“We are not all right.” I said those words in the days after October 7, 2023. Three years later, we are STILL not all right. We remember the children, parents and grandparents murdered by Hamas. The young people who went to a music festival and never came home. The families whose pain does not end when the anniversary passes. And we are not all right when antisemitism spreads like wildfire, too often fueled or excused by government officials who have a responsibility to confront it. We are not all right when Jewish families live in fear and those entrusted to protect them look the other way. It is more important than ever to stand up, speak out and fight this hatred. Silence cannot be our answer. To my Jewish brothers and sisters: Your fight is my fight. I am your brother. I stood beside you then. I stand beside you now. And I always will. May the memories of those we lost be a blessing.

BREAKING NEWS: KAFKAESQUE. Former Green Party deputy leader suspended by Green Party on anniversary of 7 October for criticism of Zionism is Racism motion Today I was told by the Green Party that I have been suspended again. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the latest Kafkaesque machinations of it all. I'm already taking the party to court for the second time on grounds of unlawful protected belief discrimination and the main exclusion is due to be lifted in November 2026 even ahead of conclusion of trial. It feels very much to me that the fanatics in the party are determined to prevent me from exercising my rights as a member and have been allowed to run riot again. My latest thought crimes are retrospective in nature, for having criticised the Zionism is Racism motion in Spring earlier this year, imploring people not to vote for antisemitic candidates and warning about the damage that would be caused to the party by continuing on this trajectory. In a week in which the Party has been ungulfed by an antisemitic crisis of epic proportions, it seems I should rather have been commemded for accurately predicting the electoral cost of passing that motion. Instead the party would shoot the messenger at a time when the party needs all the critical friends it can get to course correct. As ever, I am defiant in the face of self-evident injustice. I am not the one who has brought the party into disrepute by calling out the disreputable motion and the harm that would be done to the party and wider society by passing it. The greatest irony of all is that the Party has chosen the anniversary of 7 October to suspend me for calling out the rise of antisemitism in the party. You really couldn't make it up. We have been told by Polanski that nobody will be disciplined because of this motion. Yet for standing in solidarity with Jews discrimated against by this motion, the party has sought to do just that to me. What the party has clearly underestimated again is my resolve to expose corruption and unlawful discrimination in our party political institutions.

- What is Michael Dickson's engagement rate on X?
- Michael Dickson (@michaeldickson) has an engagement rate of 0.15%, based on the median interactions across 28 original posts from the last 30 days against 187,974 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.15%, Michael Dickson sits above the 50th percentile of the 213,282 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 @michaeldickson have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 67% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @michaeldickson post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.27 posts per day across the measured window.
