As a relatively prolific open source maintainer; there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking if a project is dead, abandoned, or otherwise stuck in the mud. Open source projects fall off every day, and there's nothing wrong with that or inquiring about it. If your project is dead, post a note on the README to that effect or explaining the current status. One can always put a call out for maintainers as well.
If a question like that, or critical comments in general, negatively affect your well-being, seek help and immediately disconnect or disengage. Alternatively, one can always disable Pull Requests, Issues, and Discussions for proper isolation and read-only code sharing.
In short, quit telling people how they need to be and take some personal responsibility for your well-being or mental state in the realm of Open Source Software.
