what makes you say that?
The Temporal Cold War has made ripples in the timeline. The Romulan time traveler in "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" strongly hinted that history was at least a little bit different than it had been, with the date of the Eugenics War as case in point. I think the writers are freeing themselves up to make minor changes to canon. I don't think it's a branching timeline, though, it's still Prime. Just a little bit different, like Gabriel Bell being replaced by Captain Sisco.
It's sci-fi -- if the producers feel strongly enough to make a blank slate, they can always retcon or shall I say future-con, and have SNW branch out a different timeline.
But there is nothing in the series so far that suggests SNW has diverged. Unless you count the visual aspects, I suppose, although that means Disco is also an alt-timeline.
@triktrek @CaptainProton Our instances sometimes don’t federate correctly, so I'm gonna reply from Mastoson this time! Here’s the reply that shows how SNW has, maybe, diverged: https://beehaw.org/comment/658690
