It seems they didn't read the rules of the instance: https://octodon.social/about

(verbatim:)

from a reply:

"As for server rules they changed in the 5 years I joined the server. I first joined it in 2017."

The surprising thing is that one instance can ban you, which prevents the account from being moved to another instance.
