      @baileyvidler oh no! I’m so sorry this happened to you! I don’t think i can suggest anything that everyone hasn’t already posted here.

      It’s really weird that instagram did this. I’ve also got a couple of friends who got banned. their situation was that their accounts were hacked and the hacker kept posting terrorist stuff so instgram took down their accounts. I don’t think if this is relevant tho

        I feel your pain, my istagram account was deactivated for no reason at all in 2020. I never posted anything rude or even political on my IG account and it was deleted for no reason. I tried to get it back but was in a Neverending loop of it saying it was fine but it was never reactivated. I must have jumped through the hoops of trying to get it reactivated over 30 times. My friends confirmed that I wasn't hacked or anything...just gone. I never had a huge following but it really killed any ambition I had to grow my new account. I occasionally still check for my old one to see if it pops back up but it's never has. Sorry. Its a crappy lesson on not overly relying on any one platform. 😕

          @baileyvidler You may be one of many affected by a global bug on Instagram. There was mass suspensions over the weekend. So far there's been no further details but Meta is looking into it.
