Many have been noticing decreases in followers the last few weeks. My list of 'scientists who do climate' has shrunk by 2% & my followers by about the same. So the most likely conclusion, at least for me, is that most of the decrease is due to people closing their accounts.
@kathhayhoe it seems this is happening to a number of high profile accounts and is not limited to climate science. A cartoonist I follow on twitter (who is sadly not on mastodon) mentioned a decrease in interactions that he is seeing. He thought it might be b/c of a change in algorithms. But it could be twitter flight IMO. doesn't necessarily mean people closing accounts though. Many (myself included) are just spending much less time on twitter than they used to.
