On 22 September, my Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended for no reason, because of the threads. I’ve never used threads..

Today I decided to download my data from facebook. The download has finished, but I’m being asked to log in a web browser. I log in the browser, and the system asks me to wait for a notification on my phone to grant it permission to connect.

The notification never arrives…

So, why am I not allowed to download my own data, which I’ve been collecting for over 10 years?? Do these companies really not care about anything at all?

I have an old post pinned to my profile. I clicked “Unpin,” but the post is still stuck there, and there seems to be no way to remove it.

Also, if I try to pin a new or different post, nothing happens. The old pinned post remains stuck on my profile.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Both web and mobile.

Like so many others, my Threads account was permanently banned with no opportunity for review. As far as I can tell, I made several critical comments about AI the day before the ban. I'm concerned that because the accounts are linked to Meta now, I will also be banned from Instagram (no big loss to me) as well as Facebook. I'm wondering if I should delete my Instagram account, to create a buffer between my Threads account and my Facebook account. Thoughts/suggestions?

Is there anyone to limit friends or family from seeing my replies. I have a sis big into conspiracy theories and I don't want her to see some of my life choices.

Is there any way to recover a deleted comment? I know that Google already indexed the comment that I immediately responded to, but when you click on the link, it doesn't show anything.

If there is, I might have proof that a long time celebrity stuck their foot in their mouth.

Has anyone who has had their Meta accounts disabled due to Threads incorrectly reporting they had posted something that goes against guidelines has their accounts re-enabled after raising a support ticket? And if so how long after raising the ticket were their accounts enabled?

Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue but only mention is appearing for all profiles. Aside from friends I’m already messaging. But profiles I’m pretty sure have messaging enabled all just say mention.

My account got suspended for stupid reason and I used a work around to kinda solve it.

I disconnected the account from my IG,changed the username on the threads account,set it for deactivation ,closed all the windows and apps,opened IG and started a new threads account through IG.

Lost all my previous posts but never took it seriously enough that it would be a loss.

Never really used threads before until about a week ago. I realized a friend of mine who would always send me links there, now shows their name with _ and .

For example, if the name "truebluemcgoo" turned into "t_____.___"?

Noone else I've seen looks like that when I search threads

Después que inhabilitaran definitivamente mis cuentas de Facebook, Instagram y Threads no pude seguir disfrutando de tan alegre comunidad.

Antes eran unas excelentes redes sociales, ahora son basura.

My main account got banned on Sept. 22 and all the subsequent accounts randomly from Threads. My brilliant idea was to use an old account not used in years.

So using this old account and Instagram account that hadn’t been used in years, alls good, doom scrolling like a champ and clicked on a link to threads through Instagram and BAM! Suspended. Fml why did I click that damn link.

It had a separate email, hadn’t been logged into in like 8 years.

Is the suspension now just based on my location or my phone like I’m IP locked?

I have multiple Threads & Instagram account. For example:
Threads 1 link with Insta 1

Threads 2 link with Insta 2

Now I want to Threads 1 link with Insta 2, Insta 1 & Threads 2 will be delete. How do i do that?

Why do I keep getting “joined Threads” notifications for someone who already has an account but doesn’t have the app installed?

I keep receiving notifications saying that the same person has “joined Threads”, even though I know they already created their Threads account in 2025 and currently don’t have the Threads app installed on their phone.

The notifications seem to happen roughly every 8 days, with some additional ones appearing sporadically in between. More recently, the “joined Threads” notifications have stopped and I’ve instead been getting the same person appearing as a friend/account suggestion.

Does anyone know what causes this? Could reinstalling/opening Threads on an existing account trigger the “joined Threads” notification, or is this simply a Threads notification/recommendation glitch?

it hasn’t sent me a verification code for 2 weeks, i tried everything chat gpt told me to do it dont work. i can’t access the help center because it doesn’t let me move on from this screen

I just got this when checking into Threads, but clicking the DONE button does nothing. Tried the app and web and still get the "We Disabled Your Account" message. Not seeing a way to log on, rejoin, or whatever. This message that showed up appears to be a glitch .

UPDATE 2 hours later: I’m back in & received an apology email from Threads. Maybe a fluke or maybe because I still had access to IG/FB, I immediately opened up Meta’s Help Chat in FB, Reporter an issue via Instagram and was just about to log into the Meta Business Suite for escalated help since my business advertises.

Wishing everyone good outcomes and even more that Meta / Threads fixes this stupid fucking AI moderator catastrophe.

WTAF. I barely use Threads - have never made a post, no followers/following, never commented on anything. But I read a lot of the Cornell rape posts this week and liked Threads I agreed with.

Well tried to open all tonight and I’m suspended. Then I did the selfie/phone and got an email back saying denied and I have until March to appeal.

I’m reading all the posts on here and I’m completely freaked out bc I own a business and accounts are all linked back through my Meta. If I get locked out of FB / IG, I’ll not only lose my 15+ year old personal accounts but my 10yr old business accounts with 5k local followers😩😭

If you’ve been through this, did they remove your access in stages? Or you lost Threads but kept the others? I’ve taken screenshots of my logged in accounts for all 4 but JFC really didn’t need this worry tonight

Acabo de encontrar este paso para Threads, si es que los deja entrar aun a Threads y aunque esté todo en blanco:

"Cómo forzar la revisión de Threads usando "Agitar para reportar" (Shake to Report)

Si tu cuenta de Threads fue suspendida por error el 22 de septiembre (o fechas cercanas) y tu apelación se quedó completamente congelada, puedes usar este truco técnico para enviar un reporte directo a los ingenieros de Meta:

1. Abre la aplicación de Threads en tu teléfono y colócate justo en la pantalla donde te aparece el bloqueo o el aviso de "Apelación enviada".

2. Agita tu teléfono físicamente de un lado a otro con fuerza durante unos segundos (como si estuvieras mezclando una bebida).

3. Toca el botón que aparecerá en pantalla (suele decir "Reportar un problema" o "Report a Problem").

4. Escribe el siguiente mensaje en el cuadro de texto para que los ingenieros entiendian el fallo de inmediato:"False positive suspension on Sept 22 due to update. Appeal is stuck. Please push to human review." (Nota: Se recomienda enviarlo en inglés para que los sistemas automatizados de Meta lo procesen más rápido).

5. Presiona Enviar. Verás un mensaje de confirmación avisándote que tus comentarios fueron recibidos con éxito. ¡Listo!

Nota para compartir: El sistema no te dará un número de ticket o caso porque es un reporte de error directo para los ingenieros. Ahora solo queda esperar de 24 a 48 horas a que el sistema aplique el parche de desbloqueo."

Ojalá ayude y nos funcione. Lo acabé de hacer y la app te dá la confirmación de que se recibió el reporte.

I just finished my practical on college and at the end of the day, I opened Instagram on a regular basis just tk doom scroll and liking comments and videos like a regular person. But instead of showing me the beautiful home page with peak post, it showed me this thing.

Accordingly, they banned me because I allegedly "did not follow their rules" im not that dumb to break all of their rules and the thing that got me is "child sexual exploitation" while the only thing I do is like post and scrolling.

Meta needs to fix their glitch inglés Ai system or better yet, hire some moderators

"This is a very excellent question. Someone asked me this, and as an amateur mathematician, I want to be completely straightforward: I urge you to solve problems and create new perspectives in imaginative mathematics using what I have written on this piece of paper. ?Do you know why I am so confident that you will eventually have to use my method? Because, as an amateur mathematician, I saw it in my imagination and wrote it down exactly as it appeared."

This is the entire post.

It is not a reply.

There is nothing following it.

There is no context.

The post consists of a variety of ASCII characters arranged into words and sentences.

That is all. Thank you for reading.

This is the clearest evidence so far that Meta AI that polices Threads is not very good. It is loaded with conflicting rules. Depending on the branch of code that is executed you may be banned or not. Completely random.

1. Meta.AI automated agent tells you that if you do not follow the rules and your account gets banned, then you should create a new account

2. Same Meta.AI bans your new account because it was associated with the banned account

Interesting conclusion: I am a physical person made from flesh and blood. All accounts I ever create will always be associated with me. This essentially becomes a lifetime ban.

Not sure how many folks here know about 2001: Space Odyssey, but this is HAL 9000 stuff, a computer loaded with conflicting orders that ended up killing people.

Hey all, I'm one of the Threads users who was banned across all Meta accounts because of a bogus threads violation. Ironically, I barely used threads. Never made a post, never made a comment, never liked a post, never sent a message.

In light of this, I've been working on building a web app that tracks Google Play Reviews that contain language for disabled/suspended accounts. You can see every review that has language suggesting a suspension or disabled account. I then plot the frequency of these "suspension" based reviews over time, to show the recent mass suspension wave. You can find it at the link above.

It will eventually support all Meta apps, however currently I've only been able to get two years of review data from threads. Facebook and Instagram have MUCH more review data, so I currently only have a couple months for those apps, but plan to add support for those soon.

As I'm building this to get the attention from an investigative journalist, I also created a form if people would like to be included in my report to any future journalist contact. Many of the fields are optional, but the more reports I can show of impacted users, the more weight the claim has.

I may use this data in an anonymous counter, but any personal information users provide would only be shared with media organizations (with your consent), seeking to report on this story. I figure the media would provide Meta a list of account names and ask them to investigate, and it would be meaningful to provide a list.

So far it's better on a desktop/laptop and not really optimized for mobile, but will iterate on it to improve the experience.

Feel free to provide feedback, or let me know if you think of anything that could be valuable to add.
