I wonder what will happen to LN in that scenario.

Ln software would also have to be forked to continue operating on the new alt-coin if I am not mistaken.
This scenario is not likely. The fake news about knots wanting to hardfork was a psyop.

I know and agree about knots fork being a psyop, still a fork (more likely from core) is still possible.

What core is doing isn't a fork. It is backwards compatible.
Someone who runs Core 29 or 29.1 for example has to do 'nothing' and everything is forwards/backwards compatible.
Knots on the other hand by activating an anti-spam hard fork, is changing consensus rules and creating their own fork. That is the point of the write-up and what I was trying to address. Core is not proposing a fork

Anybody can fork bitcoin at any time, the question is, would you have the backing and economic energy switch from bitcoin- to the new altcoin?
There was much less investment and much more confusion about bitcoin in the 2017 blocksize war than there is today.

My post as the 'op' wasn't related to the Lukejr article. I'm not sure that article is credible or relevant...
But I do think there will be a fork eventually otherwise how will the concerns of the Knots enthusiasts be addressed or satisfied?
Clearly to them (which is totally their choice) running Core isn't acceptable, and neither is the spam. Spam isn't going to be 100% solved under core v30... and it isn't solved now either.
So a serious, meaningful solution needs to be found which invalidates such spam in blocks itself and if that invalidates 'core' blocks then it's a hard fork.
What am I missing?
