  • sheer_hope ✨ alyssa ✨ (@sheer_hope) reported

    Silly question but has anyone here ever gone through a personal Instagram “rebrand”? I think part of the problem is I follow too many celebs rather than people I actually know. Also I barely if never post there and especially since last year I haven’t been on it at all. 1/2

    The best thing I noticed about him was he wasn’t ignoring what I was asking through his live, Buh then he stopped using Instagram due to some issue and now only uses Snapchat , I view his stories and just love seeing what he does Buh never messaged him or anything !

    @GadSaad @instagram Its probably an admin person, who dislike you and decided you should be disabled. Why did he do it? Becos he can. Probably he is a punk. Instagram probably do not have controls in place to monitor their own Admin person. 30 days later, they will say oops, was done in error.

    @GadSaad @instagram "It was an error" Which seems to happen only to those who speak out about today's issues, and contrary to the approved narrative.

    @GadSaad @instagram You might have inspired someone on Instagram to have common sense and a brain and that's a problem.
