There's been weeks I've lost tens of followers. People who I work with and looked up to especially when I tweet about queer or feminist issues. In some way to me it just means the ones who stay have been *ehem* quality controlled. But it hurt.
The open science community within cog/psych/neuro is nasty by ommision (if not always direct commission) because it's unable to create an atmosphere where newcomers, minorities, etc., are welcome.
