What's the difference between a soft fork and a hard fork, besides being careful with your teeth?

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Soft forks try to maintain code compatible so changes can apply to both code bases. Normally done when there's hope of a future merging of the code lines. They rarely work, as eventually thing get hard.
