But they're specifically moving to Mastodon (infosec.exchange and defcon.social), which is not the same as moving to Lemmy, KBin, or PixelFed. For example, Lemmy federates with KBin, but not with Mastodon. Kbin federates both with Lemmy and Mastodon. Also, Mastodon has a Twitter-like UX, while Lemmy/Kbin have a Reddit-like UX. PixelFed has a Flickr-like UX.

It makes a difference, and insisting on calling them ActivityPub or Fediverse servers has strong GNU/Linux vibes, which we should probably avoid too.

You are making the same mistake. There is no Mastodon as a place or protocol. There's ActivityPub and a bunch of server/client software. Mastodon is one of those

I follow several Lemmy users on Mastodon.

Lemmy federates with Mastodon. You can @ a community to post in it.
