My account was instantly disabled for saying I was happy that Musk was shaking things up at Twitter. 😅 Guess that’s all it took for the ML content moderation to kick in…
Got a tip for us?

All I know is that Instagram has been acting a bit wonky lately. It would suddenly shut down for no apparent reason on my iPhone 12. 🤷♂️
My account was deactivated and then reactivated maybe an hour later. Felt myself disappearing from photos like Marty McFly.
I understand the “hate” a lot of people have toward Meta, and SM in general, but some people use it to keep up with interests.
I deleted my old Insta account because of how caustic things were getting. My current account follows only sports teams I follow, the leagues, some players, etc. I also follow pages for my Church/Faith.
The last two versions were constantly crashing. They updated again today. I hope it solved that issue. But now there’s this NEW issue. Since I don’t post/upload anything, I’m guessing I’ll be ok.

Opened it to check.
First thing I saw was the picture of someone’s butt.
Everything is therefore working as expected.

Out of the blue, my account was disabled some 3 hours ago. I followed the instructions for complaining/objecting (captcha, 6 digit code via email, 6 digit code via cell phone) only to be left with the eternal spinning wheel.
Half an hour ago my account was restored.
This happened in the southernmost part of Argentina.

Right? Like what’s the point? People who don’t have anything interesting to post on social media get so irritated when others do… like it’s bothering them in any way, shape, or form. 🙄
If you can't take a pic of your lunch to show your followers, did you even really eat lunch?
Interesting, and I JUST deleted my instagram of 11 years last night 😅
Instagram is currently experiencing an outage in some parts of the world, according to user reports on Twitter and Downdetector.
As a result of the outage, some users are reporting that their accounts are being locked and/or suspended for "violations" and some have reported a sudden decrease in follower count. In a tweet, Instagram said it's aware of the problems and is working to fix them. We'll update this article when we learn more.

Personal account isn't affected but my business account is affected. It's amazing how are business accounts even treated the same way. Even my Meta Business Suite shows no sign of my Instagram account, so this so-called 'bug' runs very deep and I have a feeling could take a while to fix. Some people and business on twitter are even reporting their accounts don't even exist anymore and others have gotten their handles now.
Instagram was its own app when it was released but Adboo..Facebook bought it and fd it up
Judging from the nature and tone of the jokes and criticisms I’ve seen over the years, I think a lot of us appreciate social media just fine. It’s Zuckerberg and what happens to the IP he gets his hands on that we object to. @Vespi points out, Instagram was not originally a Meta/FB/Zuckerberg property. Not everyone on Instagram appreciated being folded, spindled and mutilated into the Metaverse monstrosity of data mining and manipulation.
Oh I totally agree that Meta running Instagram is irritating… and that the downward trajectory of Instagram is disappointing… but when people make comments like “Oh no, I won’t be able to take pictures of my lunch, what am I gonna do now?”, it just reeks of adolescent jealousy/insecurity.
Aw..... Wish they would go back pre-VIDEOS. I realize the competition with apps like TicTock but I liked Instagram with it was not dominated by Videos and Reels (not to mention ads) and was basically just photography based.
Anyone use a nice replacement if only interested in photography? Thanks.

That's been happening to me the last couple of days on my 11. It tries to refresh and insta-crash.
My son's was completely erased, deleted. The biggest issue I have with this is that there is no way to contact IG for any assistance at all. He tried to call and the phone number listed is no longer in service. No email that would work.
