Things are changing here all the time. There's also a metric shit-ton of misinformation out there which for some strange reason spreads faster than the facts and ideas coming from actual sources. That happens a lot as well. A hardfork is an update to the software, basically. A few changes. Most of it will go unnoticed in time and simply be part of the background noise, like everything else, eventually. There might be some drama and a few bugs coming up in a few hours. That will all get sorted out eventually as well.
