    Wait, there’s an easy way for me to delete my Instagram account? Usually it’s a pain in the ass

      Opposite problem for me. I had a perfectly legitimate Instagram account that I used fairly infrequently to post pictures of artistic landscapes I saw in my daily life going back to like 2013. A few months ago, I tried to go on Instagram to be told that my Instagram had been deleted for “suspicious activity”. There was an appeals process where they had me take a picture of myself holding a code they gave me, so I did, but they never got back to me and my account was completely gone like a day later. Apparently they don’t have any fucking support staff, so there was absolutely no way for me to fight this. Their entire support team is automated. So yeah, years of special memories I had thrown down the drain. Fuck Meta. I refuse to store my memories on any of their bullshit platforms anymore since apparently they can just be deleted willy nilly like that. My IG account was even attached to my FB account, so I have no idea why the fuck they would just delete one account like that.
