This is the core problem with #Instagram & #Threads, they have a very high false positive that they won't fix. It has been that way for 3 years, & Threads is using it.
No help either unless you are an “influencer”. So frustrating!

When will #Instagram going to fix this? And will the #Threads team going to do something about this?
Seriously, #Instagram and #Threads, what did I do wrong? You should at least tell people so they know.
And 2 days ban for a false positive?!
Threads team, you definitely should fix this. Better yet, disconnect Threads account from Instagram, because whatever happens on Instagram, Threads is affected. Since the Instagram team won't fix their faulty system, Threads will be impacted as well.
Oh, by the way, that “Tell Us” button? It's just a “Thank you for telling us, it will help improve our system” but we won't lift your ban because we still believe we are right and you are wrong.
Lessons here:
1. Discussion about learning the #Korean #language is a bannable offence on Instagram.
2. What happens on Instagram, doesn't stay on Instagram, it spills over on Threads.
@bookstardust There was a reel about how Koreans use 네 for many situations, and does not necessarily mean “yes” every time. In the reel, the creator also wrote the RR transliteration as “ne” while showing how it's pronounced in a given scenario.
Many commented that they were surprised it's “ne” because they usually hear “de” in K-drama. So, I replied to one comment and explained it.
And boom, blocked for 2 days.
I tried to share the screenshot via #Threads, and I'm blocked there as well for 2 days.
-- I only used “네” (once or twice in one comment) as part of the explanation. *shrugs*
@youronlyone wtf did you post in korean? Or was it that you used english and hangeul together?
@bookstardust It was not the first time. I stopped using Instagram for 2-3 years after they permanently banned original and old account.
They just don't explain anything what it was that triggered a false positive.
They even forced me to do video verification thrice. The 2nd time, they apologised. The third time, they no longer talked to me. I never got any help from that incident, so I just stopped using it.
The only reason I created a new account was for Threads. And now, this. Another false positive.
@bookstardust Yep!
I rarely upload photos either. The last photo upload I did in that account was 7 hours ago (from the time I tried to leave a comment) and it was my photo of a flower. I use Threads more.
Now, I can't use Threads because Instagram affects Threads.
@youronlyone wtf?! It's so annoying that you don't even know if someone reported you, or if this was done by the algorithm itself.
This is really absurd.
I'm glad you are on #Mastodon and the other companies they can dig their own graves, right?
Anyway Instagram and Threads is owned by the same company.
Also you could use #Pixelfed if you want something like #Instagram. People are praising it in the news.

Hmm… not for me, as long as they federate. ^_~
