It looks like there is a heavy focus here on emphasizing the migration from Twitter as a migration to "Mastodon" as opposed to "the fediverse" as if non-Mastodon instances simply do not exist or are irrelevant. I wonder if there is a specific reason for this and if the numbers would look drastically different if the whole Fediverse were to be examined.
For me, part of the beauty of the fediverse is that, just as you're not locked into a specific instance, you're also not locked into a specific implementation. I would hate to be considered "not part of the network" because I am using Pleroma or Lemmy.
Unfortunately thats a very common problem, lots of people consider Mastodon and Fediverse to be synonyms. Its probably because Mastodon is so much bigger than all the other Fediverse platforms, and its the first one that people hear about. I think over time they will also start getting to know the other projects.

@WetHat @nutomic Is 41% a pass mark.
@WetHat @nutomic There is a QUIZ to test your knowledge of the fediverse.
@frankcat @nutomic I guess you are referring to that quiz:

I would say 41% is certainly a pass mark.🥇
