if you freeze coin that does not move to a new signature scheme it will result in a chain split
calling it a soft fork seems disingenuous

The likelihood of chain split decreases commensurate to the percentage of hashrate enforcing the soft fork.
"calling it as soft fork seems disengenuous"
You can do better than this
"Hard fork" and "soft fork" are well-defined technical terms. Either can cause a chain split
This was explained thousands of times to the RDTS/Knotsi crowd in recent months, on Twitter and in their Telegram group chat. But they were told by Liar @Luke Dashjr that "hard" and "soft" mean "split" and "no split"
If you want to talk about controversy, and consensus, and chain splits, please do
You're the liar. I said nothing of the sort. And no, softforks _don't_ cause chain splits.
Dathon Ohm's soft fork will, if they are crazy enough to activate, cause a chain split
The only way they can avoid a split is if they get more than 50% of hashrate
But - in my opinion - they won't get 51% of hashrate and therefore we'll have a textbook example of a chain split caused by a softfork. It will be a good opportunity for you to learn how bitcoin works
There is no debate on this, and therefore I will not waste time with you on this thread again. This is Nostr, not X or Telegram, and I expect higher standards
You are a disgrace, lying to the plebs like this
You're the one lying
