Python Software Foundation's Twitter account did the same. I don't know how many more made a stance, but I needed to learn Wagtail CMS and they too went dark on their website. Maybe not all tech is political, but open source, freedom being one of its foundations, sure is.

Freedom includes the freedom to not do something.

That's why when I modify a free software package for my own personal use and gratification, I'm not forced to distribute the changes to anyone, not even upstream.

Archive.org's copies, like the one at https://web.archive.org/web/20190212143902/https://wagtail.i... , seems usable. Plus, things like http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.4/ are still live.

Also any inner links are fine, like https://wagtail.io/features/. They didn't go completely dark, just their home page.
