Blocking & muting accounts with few posts and few followers is a harassment-prevention strategy that is a holdover from Twitter.

It works to thwart coat-tailing, sock puppets, swarming, advertisers, and targeted harassment campaigns.

you can also just look at their account on their instance to verify if it's actually blank or if it's not connected with your instance

even if someone recommended it to you, they may have accidentally gotten part of the handle wrong
