The owner should pass the torch rather than let it die.

The owner vanished and the other Admins miss the ssh keys to be able to migrate it. Also feddit.de had a partially fried database after a disk ran out of space

Seriously, what's up with owners vanishing? Kbin.social, Kbin.run, feddit.de?

Not even a message saying something like "this project is taking up too much of my time, bye everyone."

The early internet also had personal website vanishing or being abandoned all the time. Static webpages don't need constant maintenance but it's more noticeable when it's a community.
