It happens sometimes.
Getting randomly blocked when you don't deserve it and by someone you've never interacted with before is sadly a very common thing on sites with social features.

Placing a value judgement on blocking is a bad idea for your happiness, and often irrelevant to the actual block.
The only 'deserve' in all this is that users deserve to be able to curate their own experience of FR. A block does not mean 'you are a bad person'. It means 'something about your presence or actions on FR is something I don't want to interact with'. It's about the blocker, not the blocked.
Sometimes it's starving fodder. Sometimes it's 'while I have no issue with your opinions, I find the way you interact with the forums stressful to read'. Sometimes it's having an icon with jaguar.

I've blocked people by accident because mobile life. Usually i dont even realize it until i see the 'blocked player' post. could be one of the reasons and also what others said!

Many people, especially on FR, block liberally.
Don't take it to heart. I block people over minor inconveniences all the time, and people do that to me, too.
Best thing to do is to just go "huh", maybe block back, and move on with your day. Nothing to stress over.

The block feature is a feature that's working as intended. Players are not required to interact with a specific individual and, as noted in this thread, there can be a variety of reasons for a block. Thank you!
