He's not the only Wordpress contributor banned from Slack for asking questions about the checkbox:

And from Javier's thread, Matt is gaslighting people by telling them to consult attorneys to decide the meaning of "affiliated" in a checkbox HE introduced.

Is paying for WPEngine hosting "affiliated"? https://x.com/LucP/status/1843926970763227255

Can we now agree that Matt has lost his marbles and his ego is leading him to burn the entire Wordpress ecosystem down? These are megalomaniacal and dictatorial actions.

An "SEO Consultant"? You're using the word "contributor" very loosely.

Strange comment. The top WordPress plugin is focused on SEO.
