Yes, that's what I mean: the Fediverse implies a more conscious and deliberate use of social media. It's not intended for people who are more consumerist. So I don't think the Fediverse itself competes with proprietary social media. I think it's two different ways of using the Internet that are competing here.

It competes with social media in the sense that social media wants conscious consumers to also use their shitty products.
