Everybody most certainly did not switch over! They hard forked it and sure some people moved to the new fork because they liked the maintainers more and it has the community they vibe with, but a lot of people stayed with the old one and are still using it. The trademark stayed with the original fork, which means the new fork had to develop a new flag which not everyone in the community is stoked about...

There's a couple side-forks with small communities, like Omni, but most people consider them pretty niche.

    And honestly bisexual is just such a stable fork overall. It functions well with mainstream architectures but also makes a great entry point into sexualities that aren't expressed in binary format. AND if you actually do the work of reading into the docs you find out that it's not even just limited to the traditional two-gender dichotomy. So if you really really need some super specific fork of a fork of a fork for some super specifically narrow use-case that's fine, but honestly in 90% of the cases bisexual actually covers most of the features you need and is widely recognized / compatible with the other stuff you're using with half the effort.

    Edit: just wanna give a shoutout to my hubs. I grew up as a tumblr pan girl and honestly he's super based as a bi dude. First of all it's way harder to be bi as a dude and also he introduced me to the actual bi manifesto and how the bi's have always been super inclusive to begin with by not assuming there are two genders to begin with but also that trans girls & boys are just girls & boys so that aspect doesn't count as an extra gender to be attracted to anyway soooo. Mans has always been super based and I love him a lot.
