there are "twitter apps" that do this, but of course they need access to your account
in the future you could just look at your follower number before and after (say 6 hours after)

I think attribution is hard when you both tweet a lot and have 10k+ followers since there’s a lot 0f background churn. I’d have to tweet something really outrageously offensive to see a signal.

if you really want to know we can design experiments with control tweets and no-tweet periods
we could model your follower churn as a birth-death process... i'd have to dig into the literature...

Don’t actually care *that* much. Just randomly curious. I operate on the assumption that I lose/gain the right people. Never regretted any people I know for a fact I’ve pissed off 🙂
