They don’t need to get big like Meta or any Western social media.
They simply need to serve their targeted demography well to be able to survive. A lot of East Asian platform doing basically that, still alive even after a 15+ years.
Local social media is different from bigger social media platform.
Those big social media generally are American/Western-centric. Sure, you can find local community on them, but their moderation system are often still Western-centric.
You’ll surprised on how often other language being moderated (deleted/removed) because it mistaken as hate speech. For example, word that in certain language has neutral meaning, but mistaken as offensive in English.
Also, local social media often designed to local culture. Xiaohongshu and Plurk are the primary example. Entirely unique UI and user experience.
Even fediverse also this cultural-focused software. Take a look on Misskey (a Japanese-made fediverse software), it primarily designed for Japanese internet culture, which entirely different from Mastodon or Pleroma.
ActivityPub is not designed for real time chat and communication, I believe.
There’s Matrix and XMPP protocol, but upcoming MLS protocol (which backed Mozilla, The Matrix.org Foundation, even Meta) looks more complete, feature-wise.
Instead of yet another globally massive social media, I want to see regional social media that’s not massive globally, but popular in their country of origin. Or niche social media.
List so far:

LibRate is WIP fediverse alternative for that.
It plans to supports film, books, games, and more. Basically one stop for every tracker.

Instead of car, people of my country usually able to drive motorcycle.
But not me. I’d rather take my bicycle. I don’t want to deal with cost of maintaining motorcycle.
