I don’t believe it’s actually a fork if I’m comprehending it right. The share drop block just shows when they’re taking a snapshot of Steem distribution, probably choosing a time that coincides roughly with the start of the crowd sale. But their documentation shows them launching their own testnet and mainnet in May and June of 2018.
Either way, I’m not happy about it. Vice would be much more beneficial to Steem as an SMT.
I’m also curious about the sharedrop as they have no obligation to do so unless the Steem team did negotiate to provide services such as tech support. I really wish there was more communication from Steemit Inc on this.

You could be right, it might just be a way to try to onboard the existing Steemit userbase to an SMT.
