I have communities, so is it possible to give someone else ownership and be a normal mod or even simply not being one? (Other than account purge)

You can add another mod, and then step down to transfer ownership. If you want to still be a mod after that, the new owner will have to add you, or the admin of the instance the community is hosted on

depending on if you know or trust whatever mod you bring in i recommend you stick around for a bit if only just to make sure things don't get ruined. no need to be active unless ya know, you need to

Make a new account, transfer the community to the new account, in your original account leave the mod team, in the new account purge the account

This will remove the communities from your account, and not leave them with a fake moderator, they will be clearly abandoned
