More stories of harm from people getting involved in EA and then bouncing. I tried to do some investigation into this in the past, and it’s obviously by definition a hard population to interview, but my sense is that substantial harms are relatively rare.
Oops that was supposed to link to this sequence, updated now. (That sequence isn’t a complete list of everything that I and others at CEA have done, but it’s the best I know of.)
People who are substantially harmed by a movement typically don’t tell the community builders of that movement that they’re leaving because they were substantially harmed. They give some other, less vulnerable reason. Some examples of this could be “lack of culture fit or interpersonal conflict” or “burnout/mental health”, two of the major cited factors in the linked sequence of why people leave.
Can you say more what investigation you did?

Agreed, it feels real hard to get clear data on this – I would be excited for other people to research and share what they can find.
