> I haven't observed any stories of Mastodon admins blocking users for being off-topic
I myself was banned from a small instance over a misunderstanding without prior notice (since english isn't my native language). This was my only account on mastodon, so I lost all my contacts.
The admin had contact info on the instance, but I didn't have the motivation to be in mastodon anymore.
EDIT: I'd like to add. I don't really see mastodon as a social network.. if we're comparing it to something, it's more like a simple messaging group.
