A certain type of person has to get offended when Bluesky/atproto is shown to be better/worse/more popular/less popular than Mastodon/activitypub or vice versa and blogs or comments about it emotionally. So there's the appearance of a religious war where there doesn't have to be one, and for most people there isn't one.
