The TechCrunch headline is not accurate. As far as I understand, none of the people whose WordPress accounts were deactivated were planning a fork.

The current top comment and discussion on this Reddit thread provide good context:

So it's actually worse and more scandalous than the clickbait headline claims. I guess that's an achievent on @photomatt's part.

Basically they discussed reorganizing governance of Wordpress, not necessarily forking.
