Technology wars are generally unproductive and unconstructive. At the same time there's undeniably competition - #ActivityPub vs #ATProto - or coopetition - ActivityPub vs #XMPP - between different technologies. Because success and popular uptake of one technology can lead to the demise of another.

Instead of diminishing the other #technology and engage in endless heated fights and conflicts, it is better to consider the technology one is most passionate about, and look for all those aspects and factors that are important for its uptake and widespread #adoption. Stand strong in your own shoes. Other #technologies then become input to learn from. What are weaknesses, what can be copied, and what can be done better? And also, where can there be unison, interoperability, collaboration, cross-pollination with other technology ecosystems?

Technology doesn't "win". It's people who stand to win or loose, depending on how well the tech supports their needs.
