This actually sounds pretty similar to what happened to feddit.de - the former main admin/infrastructure owner stopped being active, and eventually the active admins had to move to feddit.org when technical difficulties sprang up that they couldn't solve with their access level.

~~Only difference is that feddit.de didn't go up for auction, it's still running just with minimal user interaction.~~ Apparently it was somewhat recently deactivated.

Only difference is that feddit.de didn’t go up for auction, it’s still running just with minimal user interaction.

Doesn't appear to be, there aren't any IP addresses associated with feddit.de.

You know it's the Fediverse when you see people using dig instead of nslookup.

No need to point a finger at anyone.
