The post you link specifically says swarm is not dead, in like the first sentence of the post: "No. Swarm is not dead."

It also says: "This was written early 2018. See my update to this video including Docker Inc. interview in late 2018, and then at DockerCon 2019 Docker again confirmed new features and commitment to Swarm. Most of their customers prefer it."

It's effectively dead based on usage. Just about every modern project uses Kubernetes for container orchestration while Swarm (and others like Cattle, DC/OS, etc) have decreased in popularity.

Support doesn't mean usage. Kubernetes is where the community is, not Swarm.
