I thought this was going to be about NATS Jetstream, but it is not.

I thought this was about BlueSky using NATS!

Why is this being downvoted? Seems like a valid concern to raise if you find two pieces of software somewhat having the same functionality.

It has the same name, not the same functionality. I am not a downvoter... but it's probably because reading a few sentences of this blog post would reveal what it is.

Perhaps the complaint is more about project namers spending zero time checking for uniqueness.

A problem shared with AT as well.

Was I being downvoted?

It wasn't even a criticism, just an observation for anyone else who was thinking the same or was interested in another popular project with a similar name (and seemingly similar functions? didn't look too hard).

Naming things is hard and we all kinda share one global tech namespace, so this is gonna inevitably happen.
