Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

I’m a software engineering intern at the US Department of Defense. This weekend I uploaded our codebase and all of my work documents to this cool new app called DeepSeek. It’s been super helpful in helping me do my job!

Okay so, the new Airchat is impressive, I did not expect it to be this good. A lot are referring to it as a social walkie-talkie. It makes sense why Naval built this for himself. It’s invite only, directions at end of thread if you want one. Some initial findings:

this is a critically important moment for cyber defense with AI; there is not much time to act. we are happy if you want to work with us or any of our competitors or partners, but please take this moment seriously. only an urgent and intense collective response will work.

Senator Mark Kelly

The Signal incident is what happens when you have the most unqualified Secretary of Defense we've ever seen. We're lucky it didn't cost any servicemembers their lives, but for the safety of our military and our country, Secretary Hegseth needs to resign.

Armand Domalewski

one of the most frustrating things about DOGE is that there is so much genuine waste in the federal government—bloated defense contracts, infrastructure that costs 10x to build in the US vs peer nations, etc—but we’re arguing about fucking Politico subscriptions

Taxation is theft. It should be kept to a minimum. It’s wrong to steal my money for grift on the left; it’s also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes. Efficient defense, courts, national parks (should fund themselves), prisons, etc - fine. Cut it out with these schemes guys.
