I may have to shut this community down because Instagram just suspended my account without giving me any clear reasons (lemmy.world)

Instagram's automated system won't tell me why it suspended my account and it won't let me appeal the suspension because it won't accept my phone number, which is apparently needed for the appeal process to go through.

I don't know what to do.

barring embedded image metadata (or similar) its very strange that a personal account on Instagram would be associated with moderation of this community. I am sorry that Instagram is giving you headaches. if you do decide to continue posting here, there are other mechanisms to browse profiles and grab images from insta that are anonymous.

this community brings attention to talented female martial artists that lemmy users might otherwise not be exposed to. a net positive in my mind.

Well, I think that my usage of a VPN might have prompted them to flag my account but I stopped using it this past week. Also I was using an IG Downloader to get the pics so maybe that’s why they suspended my account (note: I wasn’t stealing content because I only post pics/clips of women who have given me their permission).

I know but I also have to communicate with them when I’m not sure whether I should post a certain pic or not (maybe there are other people in it or maybe they would feel uncomfortable having that particular pic posted here, etc.)

Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated.
