> interestingly nobody of my audience went off X to mastodon

Did you really expect otherwise? A niche platform only cared for by a niche of a niche of a community?

When X has 500million users and Mastodon 10million. 400m monthly daily users verses 100,000. Tens of millions of app downloads vs not even 250k total...

I just don't see it. Even just raw numbers and probabilities it would be unlikely

Mastodon has around 2 million monthly active users.

And then compare interesting discussions and engagement you have on this much smaller Fediverse already with your few-follower account. Xitter is broadcast-mostly influencer garbage network.

Basically a rounding error.
