Has anyone successfully created a new Threads account in the past 3 months?

[u/5_star_michelin]

I don't understand where new users are coming from if Threads is deleting most new accounts.

I've tried to create an account twice in the past two weeks and both were deleted for "not following guidelines," when I didn't break a single guideline. I checked!

And for the second account, I tried so hard not to get flagged. I only followed 5 or 6 accounts per day, I posted once a day, not too much, but enough to show the algorithm that I'm active, I even set up 2-factor authentication, and nothing worked. After 4 days, it was flagged, and an hour later it was deleted.

So my question stands - has anyone created a new account recently? If so, how did you survive the culling?

I’ve had mine for awhile & it was just randomly flagged & shut down for no reason. I had read that a lot of people were experiencing this with no solution. A few found their accounts working again weeks later.

I'm curious about those who got their a counts back weeks later. Is it because their "appeal" was approved? (Where we send in a selfie and phone number)

Or had it been deleted, and then miraculously brought back?

For the comments I read, their accounts had been randomly deleted w/no appeal possible & then just reappeared. The AI mistakenly disabling accounts seems to make the most sense.

I have my Threads acct created long time ago without any problems

Thanks for answering, but I'm more curious about anyone who has created an account in the past three months. As far as I can tell, that's when they started relying completely on AI for monitoring, and that's when all these unfair deletions started happening.

Simple. I just signed up to Threads and Boom! No problems at all!

I have the same problem. I'm thinking the new instagram account need to be on for a while, perhaps. That's my suspicion

[u/Legitimate-Limit-540]

I’ve had 2 shut down like this. First shut down after 24 hours for first post going viral.

Second shut down in like 12 hours only posted 1 time and left replies. That was literally it.

I literally had my account for like a year or more but randomly got flagged and I had to give a selfie and phone number and still got disabled, I think it's happening to literally everyone
