My mastodon account on mastodon.social (the official instance of Mastodon gGmbH) was deleted without a reason after I criticized the former GDR. Not going to donate another €100 this year.

There’s not really an “official” instance. That one is one of thousands of equal peers.

I say this not to explain to you, but to clarify a common misperception that it’s somehow the “real” Mastodon. It’s not, in exactly the same way that Gmail is not the “real” email.

mastodon.social is operated by the Mastodon gGmbH, the core body behind the project.

Correct, but there’s nothing special or privileged about it. The others aren’t knock-offs or imitations. They’re all peers.

And? That's the beauty of it, i'm sure there's more to it to your story, but if truly you were banned for something silly, you can join another server (or even create your own!), there's a lot of alternatives.

You can't move a banned account, you lose all followers.

Would you say that people who donate one hundred euro or more every year should receive some form of special treatment when it comes to their account status? Not sure why that detail is relevant. That is a very American point of view tbh, not sure why a fellow European would be parroting such currency-focused viewpoints. It's not a good look

It’s rude to pretend OP said something they didn’t say. And a little side insult to Americans, nice.

at least a single word would have been nice. I've not insulted anyone.
