    actually, instagram likes don’t matter. ik butter teaser pic broke dynamite’s record, but it doesn’t even have 500k pre-saves on spotify, meanwhile dynamite had more. also imo we’re kinda slow w donations. pls try your best, when butter comes out.

  • amberashleyj SaveSheikhJarrah (@amberashleyj) reported

    @mosseri This is not a past issue. I’m still blacked out of my account bc of my content in solidarity with #palestine. Ive emailed and tweeted ppl all day, no one will respond. If @instagram supports genocide, just say that. Pretending this isn’t blatant censorship is just gaslighting.

  • MoeAlBashir Mohammed Al Bashir (@MoeAlBashir) reported

    @mosseri The issue of lacking live chat support for Instagram users has made a fruitful environment for bots to scam people by convincing them they can hack into Instagram to reactivate their accounts back. This issue needs to be addressed. Improve IG support before any other feature.
