Instagram disabled my zero-post gaming account after logging in after an absence and following a few creators. I passed SMS + selfie and was still denied—no reason, no real appeal. This is how creators lose years of work in minutes. @InstagramComms@Meta — I need a HUMAN review.

@Xaryu FYI, your #WoWForever giveaway is a giant fail for some of us. I haven't been spamming chat at all, yet every time I try to enter the giveaway, I get a warning from Twitch that my message didn't go through.
Really wish I could.
I know this has always been the process, but it’s baffling that Blizzard has created a self‑inflicted friction point where the people who spend the most—and show the strongest brand loyalty by buying the CE—end up with the worst access experience.
The CE is nearly $170 with tax, yet I’m forced to wait until March’s release before I can access any of the early‑access Midnight content others are already enjoying, even though the Blizzard Gear Store has had my money since December 3rd.
Seriously fighting every fiber of my being that wants to give Blizzard a big middle finger.
🖕 …sorry, looks like I lost that fight.

@Warcraft@Blizzard_Ent can you please finally give players the ability to add an apostrophe in character names—seeing as so many NPCs have them, including many of the Haranir?
@TransAnarchist_@EsfandTV That will be my setup as well: Gaming PC for normal desktop gaming, Steam Machine for cozy gameplay on the couch with my new TCL QM8K's gorgeous picture dreaminess, and Switch 2 for Nintendo exclusives.
@lombardo_br@Variety The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths was so lame I’ve wiped it from canon. That hot garbage doesn’t count. I've moved on and pretend it never happened.
@InstagramComms@Meta@instagram The irony of an algorithm labeling me a bot and nuking my account is peak stupidity—just another symptom of the craptastic dystopia we’re hurtling toward.

Yo @Blizzard_Ent, why do you hate Fire Mages? Phoenix Flames was one of the coolest-looking abilities in the game. I’m good with much of the pruning, but removing Phoenix Flames? That’s just dumb.
@Warcraft
@LyrosHazard Especially with the ladies like @emiru and @mayahiga? Was it the honker of a nose, the caterpillar eyebrows, or the receding hairline?
Clearly, it wasn’t his charming personality.
Again, not surprised at all. Never liked him, always thought he was a total jerk. Anyone who's been through an abusive relationship and knows what to look for can spot the signs a mile away. He radiates narcissistic, borderline sociopath energy.
I just wish there were a way to search my past comments in streamers’ chats. I called it early. Still don’t get what @mayahiga or @emiru ever saw in him.
Not surprised in the slightest with @emiru speaking out about Mizkif. I never liked him—he’s always come off as a total jerk. Anyone who's been through an abusive relationship can spot the signs a mile away. He radiates that narcissistic, borderline sociopath energy.
This is why I've encountered significant difficulty achieving success in my working life, despite possessing an exceptional IQ. Many people seek neither truth nor intellect. Instead, they prefer to be spoon-fed whatever validates their point of view, massages their ego, or provides comfort. As I prioritize truth above all else, I always find myself at a distinct disadvantage.
@Blizzard_Ent@Warcraft@Witchbrook@instagram@InstagramComms@EFF Appreciate your work. I learned the hard way why it matters: @instagram disabled my zero-post account after I followed 3–4 accounts. This is “AI moderation” in practice. Please push for clear reasons + human review—creators shouldn’t be erased by AI with boilerplate.
@Blizzard_Ent@Warcraft@Witchbrook@instagram AI moderation makes mistakes. Boilerplate ‘violated guidelines’ without one concrete example isn’t due process. I’m not asking for special treatment—just a specific reason and a real appeal path. @InstagramComms please escalate.
