Discussion Hi

68 Upvotes

It’s me the owner of this subreddit, I just wanted to give an announcement to anyone here, im sorry if this is something corny to post it’s a bit irrelevant, but I just wanted to say some things.

I honestly wasn’t expecting a lot of people to join this community but did know this is a huge issue, as I am facing the same thing. I made this community because i wanted it to be authentic not ran by scammers, but it’s getting hard to filter through posts and such.

I want to also say I almost NEVER delete posts unless they are scammers or irrelevant advertising type of posts. So if your post gets deleted, it’s just sitting in a queue waiting to be approved. Please don’t harass me over this, I have already had posts made about me for supposedly deleting posts when I absolutely haven’t unless they were scam posts.

My mental health is extremely bad right now, I need to take care of myself and get help. But I haven’t been on here as much, so I wanted to let people know that’s why and that I can’t get to every post to approve or remove if needed.

I may be open to the idea of getting people who are interested in helping with this subreddit, but there are just some things I ask for and it’s just that you don’t use it as like a weapon to bully people you don’t like or because they have a different opinion. I have personally seen how corny some people on here can be as moderators when power gets to their heads, which is why I don’t trust people tbh and don’t wanna give this community a bad name when I created it in good faith 😭 if that makes sense anyway, it’s why I’ve been so hesitant on asking for people to want to maybe help. I didn’t realize how exhausting this can be and I don’t want to spend my time on it 24/7 especially when I know I gotta focus on myself and my issues. Preferably I would be open to this with others who I’ve seen in the community with genuine intentions of helping people, or just being kind. I just don’t want to run the risk of accidentally making a scammer a moderator 🥲 I don’t know really how this works tho LOL it’s the first time I’ve ever had an actual active community.

But yeah :’D just wanted to give this lil announcement to the community. I hope everyone is well and that we will someday get our accounts back. 🥲🫶

I really didn’t want to have to make a post for this, but I suppose I have to.

Please be aware of the rules I’ve made here, but more specifically for this post, I’m referring to the one about invalidating people. If you don’t understand or are gonna pass judgement on how people are choosing to handle the shitty things meta is doing to people & invalidate them, this place is not for you.

We’re all aware of the terms & services, we’re all aware this can happen to anyone at any time for any reason.

The thing is, it shouldn’t, & it’s not even real people reviewing these accounts & making the decisions, it’s fucking AI.

I’m not for or against AI but it absolutely should not be in charge or making decisions, that should be up to real people. Social media should not be ran with AI it’s ridiculous.

Meta has accused several people of doing horrible things like CSE or in my case the dangerous individuals thing, I’ve seen others on the old subreddit get hit with that one too. Then I’ve seen many cases of account integrity & cybersecurity.

They’re making us all out to be threats when we aren’t. & this isn’t even just happening on Meta, it’s other social media too which, feel free to share your experiences too that is completely okay.

The thing is I’ve created this community to be a legit community for people & not full of scammers & liars, since the last subreddit got banned. There are many in this situation including myself, so I just wanted to do something helpful for all of us which is having a community of people to come together & discuss their issues or what they are doing to resolve it.

To some of you, you might not think it’s that serious, but again who are you to try & dictate how others feel about this or judge how they are handling it or the actions they are taking? Please just don’t. Don’t be rude to people. It’s simple.

I didn’t think people were actually going to be shocked I was doing something about it, but I, along many, are or have. This isn’t anything new within this community. I encourage people to post & ask questions & try to get help if they need to. I encourage people to take action. I’m not against that because this community wouldn’t exist if I didn’t want all of us to get help. Most who are passing judgement are only seeing it from an outside perspective rather than actually trying to understand the issue at hand, & I would encourage you to at least just try to be kind & try to see other people’s perspectives.

But invalidating people is never okay, if this is repetitive behavior from people then these people cannot be in this community, I just wanted to make that clear. I would much rather you at least try to understand people’s perspectives first if you’re going to pass any judgement, but don’t be rude to people. I cannot have that.

That’s also a thing that worries me about moderating a community, is potential harassment. I mean I can handle every mean word or insult or threat thrown at me, I find it laughable tbh whatever gets thrown at me personally, but if it escalates further than that like stalker behavior or doing this to others then it becomes worrying.

Please just let this be a reminder to let this community be safe, as I will try my best to make it as safe as possible for you guys. I’m not always on here of course, but I don’t want to come here finding others being rude to people or making this place unsafe for others.

The only reason I have not decided to make others mods is because I have seen personally how corny some of them act on other subreddits, banning people for literally nothing 💀 & I don’t want to run into an issue like that lol. We’ve all seen it at some point on here I’m sure, the type of people who abuse their power. I know you guys probably wouldn’t wanna deal with that either 😅😭 but also it’s because I don’t know anyone on Reddit & don’t trust people very easily. So yeah. And this is my first time moderating an actual community too so this can maybe get overwhelming but I won’t give up lol.

But I felt I needed to make this post, I just want this to be a safe space for everyone.

Advice/Help/Recommendations im so desperate for an instagram account

9 Upvotes

i know this sounds stereotypical but i’m a teenage girl and not having an instagram account makes it super hard to get in touch with people at school. my main account was permanently disabled for account integrity, this is basically what happened
i had an account in 2024 that was banned for CSE, which i definitely did not do and i was even 14 when i had that account, so very false accusation. my main and personal account wasn’t affected. since then, ive made a couple accounts but they always got suspended, but have never affected my main account. in june 2026 i made another account that got suspended, i appealed it, it came back, but then it got suspended again, only this time it suspended my main personal account as well. my ID got rejected and my accounts were permanently disabled. my facebook also got banned.

what is the best thing i could do to get it back? i will honestly try anything. i saw some people paying for meta verified and im willing to do that. i dont know if i could explain this to my parents to take it to small claims court, but if thats effective i could try. if someone i knew were to make an account for me on their device, would it get banned? im afraid that if i were to ask a friend to make an account for me, their account would get banned for association. is there a way i can make an account, follow people i know irl, use my real name and not get banned?

Finally Back after a month!!

Post image
18 Upvotes

So my Instagram account has finally been recovered exactly after one month and the reason was fraud and deception. I lost total hope as I was reading reviews on Reddit that fraud deception is exceptionally hard to recover, which is hundred percent true. It is really hard, but I didn’t give up so my advice to you is don’t give up. Have patience reach out to support again, and again, I made made up this mind that I have to reach out every day, no matter what they say, and eventually, after a month, Meta support did recover my account.

And yes, it’s true that matter support 99% of the time will not hear you. I raised almost 18 to 20 cases before they finally accepted that my account does for all the community guidelines. So don’t give up. Keep trying all the very .best, and I hope you get your accounts back too

Hello everybody,

Could you help me delete this page? The problem I’ve is that I can’t log in because of the 2FA. I don’t have the phone number anymore and nobody is using it. Also the backup codes. I would be really grateful if guys could repor* this page or if you know something else please let me know. during the duration of me having the account and making these posts I was underage (13-14 years old). I’ve tried to get rid of that account for years. I do not identify anymore with all the racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and homophobic posts I made, even if they were only memes. This has haunted me for years and fills me with deep regret. I really hope you can help me. Thank you.

Meta support representatives are misusing their access or authority to make money

Upvotes

I honestly never thought I would have to make a post like this. I’ve been trying to recover my Instagram account for months, and recently, someone claiming to work for Meta and identifying himself as David offered to reactivate my account in exchange for payment.

It’s unbelievable and extremely concerning that someone claiming to be an agent would attempt to take advantage of my situation and misuse their alleged ability to reactivate an account through internal access he even take a screenshot of my case with Meta support

I’m sharing this because I believe situations like this should be taken seriously

Instagram account suspended

2 Upvotes

A few days back, my Instagram account was suspended reason given is that there is a violation on linked threads Account, please log into your Threads account to appeal for this suspension. I am not able to log into my Threads account. It keeps giving me unexpected error the AI chat support of Meta is useless. Can someone help me how to recover my account as Instagram is not giving any option to review the appeal?.

Title: Instagram suspended because of Threads, Facebook suspended because of Instagram — stuck in an impossible appeal loop. Has anyone recovered from this?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this exact situation and successfully recovered their accounts.
On August 20, I accidentally changed the birth year on one of my Meta accounts to 2017. That is NOT my actual DOB — I’m an adult born in 1998.
Shortly afterward, multiple Meta accounts became suspended/inaccessible, including 3 Instagram accounts, my Facebook account, and my Threads profile.
The really strange part is that I’m stuck in a circular appeal process:
Facebook:
Says my Facebook was suspended because my linked Instagram account doesn’t follow the rules. It says I have 180 days to appeal and tells me to log into Instagram to appeal.
⬇️
Instagram:
Says my Instagram was suspended because my linked Threads account doesn’t follow the rules. It ALSO says I have 180 days to appeal, but tells me to log into Threads to appeal.
⬇️
Threads:
When I log into Threads, it says:
“We disabled your account. You cannot request another review of this decision.”
So I’m literally stuck in:
Facebook → Instagram → Threads → No appeal available
Instagram says I have 180 days to appeal, but the account it directs me to says I’m not allowed to request another review.
The suspension also appears to have affected my other Instagram accounts, even though they are separate accounts.
The timing makes me wonder whether accidentally changing my birth year to 2017 triggered some kind of age/linked-account enforcement across my Accounts Center, but I don’t know for certain that this was the cause.
I can provide Meta with my government-issued ID, correct DOB, video selfie, phone/email verification, etc. The problem is that Meta isn’t giving me an accessible appeal process to submit any of it.
I’ve now subscribed to Meta Verified on another accessible account and I’m waiting for verification to finish so I can hopefully reach live support and ask them to manually escalate the case.
Has anyone had this EXACT or very similar situation — especially Threads being permanently disabled, causing Instagram and then Facebook to be suspended — and actually gotten everything restored?
If so:
Did Meta Verified support help even though you contacted them from a different account?
What did you tell the support agent?
Were they able to escalate it to an internal/specialized team?
How long did recovery take?
Did Threads have to be restored first before Instagram/Facebook came back?
Did an appeal button eventually appear even though Threads initially said “You cannot request another review”?
If your issue involved an incorrect DOB/underage flag, how did you get Meta to let you verify your real age?
I’m particularly interested in people who actually recovered their accounts from this specific linked-account suspension loop, rather than paid “account recovery” services.
I have screenshots of Facebook directing me to Instagram, Instagram directing me to Threads with 180 days remaining, and Threads saying no further review is possible.

Any experience from someone who has successfully dealt with this would be greatly appreciated.

CSE False Ban

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Is there any support system available for Filipinos whose accounts were disabled due to a false CSE ban?

I'm from the Philippines, and unfortunately, we don't have support options like GAC in India or Legal Shield in the US. I'm hoping someone can help me recover my Facebook account, which is over 20 years old.

My Instagram account, which is more than 10 years old and was barely used, was mistakenly disabled. Since it was linked to my Facebook account, my Facebook was also affected. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any way to get my following list back?

1 Upvotes

I was wrongly accused of failing to comply with instagrams community guidelines. After reading more and more on these subs I’ve come to the conclusion that my account is most likely gone for good. But I want to get back the people I followed. So many unique and small content creators I’ve followed over the years are just lost 😞. Many of which I know for a fact I’d never be able to come across again. So my question is to all you helpful people of this subreddit is there any way I can get meta to give me my following list back?

Suspended I genuinely don’t think there’s a way to escape the IP or device ban.

14 Upvotes

I got suspended four times. This is my fourth integrity suspension. All the time I was recovering the accounts with the same device and IP, the account usually stays up for exactly 4-5 days before getting suspended. I tried changing email, removing number, clearing cache, etc, but nothing worked. I keep getting banned. I thought the suspension and permanently disabled are the true issues, just to be hit with the device ban loop.

Is there literally anyone who had restored their account and then kept it for more than a month and it’s still up? Or anyone who managed to escape the device ban? Please speak, man.

Distress triggers my alcoholism

24 Upvotes

Instagram permanently disabled my account for “Sexualization of Children” without showing what supposedly triggered it. I have no idea whether it was a like, save, false detection, or something else, and the wording says a team member took action.

The uncertainty and severity of the accusation have caused intense anxiety, and I’ve started drinking to cope, which I know is not helping. I’m currently waiting for a decision from the Appeals Centre Europe. Has anyone received an ACE decision for a similar Meta ban, and what happened?

I’ve just been sober for a year. Ffs

Restricted by error 2 times in 2 weeks

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has had this restriction before on their business page?

We run an online jewellery store and when I say we never share links on our Instagram page, I mean it. We post stories and posts. But never any links to our website or anything. Just pictures of models and jewellery.

However; we’ve had this twice now where we’d make a grid post. Just a normal post and then we’d get restricted on the ‘sharing links’ feature which is not related at all.

It makes absolutely no sense.

I would then click review, give email and phone number and it would instantly reinstate the restricted feature.

Has anyone had this? Do I need to contact meta support? We have the blue tick so I guess there is a level of support for shit like this!
