  Hi there:

  It looks like the domain registration was cancelled October 17, 2020. Additionally the WordPress.com site and user account that owned this domain was also deleted in December 2020.

  When a domain is cancelled, it enters a redemption period where the original owner can still recover the domain. Since there was no attempt to recover the domain from redemption, at the end of the redemption period the domain was returned to the pool of available domain names and was available to be registered again on a first-come, first served basis.

  Looking at the domain records, it was purchased by another party on November 23. 2020. Since another party owns this domain, they can use it however they wish.

  I hope that clarifies things.
