Why do you think 210 is statistically insignificant? Is there a reason why the central limit theorem does not apply in this case?
If you’re more fixated on the samples coming from Mastodon, can you explain why you might expect cashless proponents to be even fewer in populations outside of Mastodon? IMO, a Mastodon-using population is more likely to embrace individual rights and condemn imbalances of power that favor giant corporations like banks. I believe if the same survey is carried out outside of Mastodon, the 26% will be bigger, if different.
No one is pushing for a “cashless society” like this post describes. It’s fear mongering.
26% in a recent poll:

A Mastodon poll with 210 responses is hardly representative.

The same reason someone might think Linux is a wildly popular choice of OS on Lemmy. These communities are very niche.

There is a massive difference between a business being cashless and a government enforced “cashless society” like this post describes.
