If you're trying to start blogging lemme give you a useful piece of advice:
Tracking who unfollows you is usually pretty much pointless unless you say something that caused a mass exodus.
Those 2 followers you lost may have been spambots or people who we weren't as into yr work

But I occasionally see a few of you who still use unfollower tracking bots
And I'm here to tell you if you're starting out and stressing about their reports, that's not what's gonna help grow your numbers.
What will?
Build your content.
Contribute to the community & network.

If you do notice a HUGE follower decrease
Go look at wtf you posted between pre-exodus and now
and think about what you've posted that would piss off a lot of people.
Usually if you're losing like 20-100s of followers overnight but your follower count is under 5-10k you goofed

And someone may even have already called you in or out if you goofed!
If you don't make amends, the people who don't like what you fucked up are just gonna keep leaving.
Do some research about why people are mad about what you said. Like, Google it.

Trying to figure out what's making your follower count dip by single digits when you have a couple thousand followers or less is only gonna drive you ape.
So I cannot stress enough
If you're new:
You need to build up your work, yr community contacts, and followers who engage.

As a new blogger your work is NOT recapturing the market of
"people who unfollowed you for reasons you can't ascertain".
You need to keep building.
Don't feed your anxiety with unfollower bots.

The key component of social media growth at the most basic level is
"Social"
Meaning what's really going to boost your follower count first
Is being social.
I'm not saying metrics don't serve a purpose. Of course they do.
But building your Twitter voice is step 1.
