Nice detailed article. However, in these two places it doesn't seem clear that it was just the Slack account that was deactivated. Here:

> Javier Casares shared that his account was deactivated after he asked a series of questions in a Slack thread started by Colin Stewart.

And here, referring to Terence Eden:

> He later reported on Mastodon that his account was deactivated.

Another thing – with that headline, I was hoping for some more info on how it impacts community like how many migrated away from WordPress or even a change in market share. However I'm not sure where that's available on a daily or weekly basis.

Edit: here's one that does a report once a month. Not sure how accurate it is: https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_ma...

I can confirm that only my Slack account has been deactivated.

Although, that said, I anticipate an eventual purge of all WP related accounts for users involved in Lèse-majesté.

Regarding usage, I wouldn't expect to see an immediate decline. It takes a long time to plan a migration, as users of ReiserFS found out.
