It's okay and good for multiple online social platforms to exist that meet diverse needs. It's okay to have small niche platforms (e.g. forums) that won't be a global brand name. The concept of competition in social media platforms only makes sense from a corporate "must consume all the revenue and extract all the profit" angle. Step outside of that, and there's nothing to win. But you might find community.
