No they aren't. Clearly they don't have to, as they are in fact shutting the instance.
They're providing a service, as volunteers, for free, and asking nothing in return. By definition they get to set the terms on which they do that, and it is astonishingly selfish for you to expect them to do so under conditions that are clearly untenable, and blame them for this outcome when they cannot continue.
No. If you want an independent site, away from the hands of venture capitalists, you should've stepped up and volunteered to admin when they needed help.
