To be honest, the whole hardfork situation happened without me taking much notice. COVID-19 and home office took most of my attention over the previous weeks. So I still need to do some reading on the whole story. Especially in regards to any changes to the programming libraries.
From what I gathered I'd just need to change the node list. But I'll see what else needs to be changed.
For now I'll support both Steem and Hive with my bots.
My curator bot aicu should go live on hive over the coming days. Regarding my splinterlands bot, I'll see where Splinterlands will go.
My other project will be a DAPP Rogue-like. Originally planned around the Steem blockchain, but now I'll wait how things are developing with both steem/hive. I'd love to integrate both steem and hive into the projects. But I'd need a functioning non-fungible Token. And for now there's just the steem engines solution. Which would work, but I'm not certain how their stance is on the hardfork. So I'll wait until things have cleared up.
If that's still a positive depends on how people will behave in face of the hardfork. If the whole community leaves steem behind, then not so much. But from what I gather the majority of the community isn't religiously following either project. They just want a platform which rewards them and allows them to blog. And both steem and hive do that.
I'm curious how both communities will develop from now on. I don't think both will thrive. In the long run only one will stay on top. Because both offer a service which is very similar. So long.
