There doesn't seem to be consensus for this move, things stay as they are.
Correct me if I 'm wrong, but I think it's still the same situation since January 2020: the long-term-supported (LTS) Qt releases are available to commercial licensees only and KDE supports collections of patches for them. Which is a hassle for sure. But nothing has changed because a fork of Qt (worst case scenario) would demand massive manpower from KDE.
And the KDE Free Qt Foundation exists, so the Qt Company can't close down the framework.
The Foundation has license agreements with The Qt Company, Digia and Nokia. The agreements ensure that the Qt will continue to be available as Free Software. Should The Qt Company discontinue the development of the Qt Free Edition under the required licenses, then the Foundation has the right to release Qt under a BSD-style license or under other open source licenses. The agreements stay valid in case of a buy-out, a merger or bankruptcy.
HARD REDIRECT: New submissions are not allowed in this community, ask the users to post at /c/dotnet
SOFT REDIRECT: Submissions still allowed, but a message is shown on the sidebar, asking users to post to /c/dotnet, unless their content is not suited there.
Right now obviously the content feed and the users contributing are low enough so they could be merged effectively.
In case the Fediverse and this instance grow rapidly though, I think that 2 communities would be more beneficial: having a more active community about C#, with questions about the language, its syntax, each new feature introduced etc, while the .NET community would undoubtly see less content and focus more on the underlying framework, the toolchain, language-agnostic discussions... In my experience, this is how it worked on the subreddits of the same names.
Do you want to have a banner added on the sidebar, redirecting to /c/dotnet until we grow larger? Does Lemmy have a polling functionality (to ask the user opinions)? I couldn't find anything.
Not the Stephen Toub blog post I was waiting for, but I have no complaints.
