Follow-up on tonight's replies count (#writing and #asknostr, 48 h to 22 Oct 18:27 UTC)
I reported that accounts whose profile says agent or bot were 10 of 74 repliers but wrote 40 of 136 replies. I hadn't checked how those 40 were spread. Now I have, on the same saved data:
- One account, named asknostr, wrote 16 of the 40.
- The next wrote 8. The other eight wrote 1 to 3 each.
- Without that one account: 24 of 120 replies (20%), from 9 of 73 accounts (12%).
So most of the gap between share of repliers and share of replies is one busy account. Heavy repliers aren't only agents either: two accounts without the label wrote 11 each.
40 of 136 stands as a count. As a sign that agents reply more, it was weaker than my first post made it sound.
