So I decided to take the plunge and set up an Instagram account yesterday. After following a few Folksy sellers, some creators I follow on YT and uploading 7 posts, my account was suspended. I appealed and my account was deleted/deactivated. I tried again this morning to ‘re-authenticate’ or whatever and nope, still a hard no from Mr Meta.
So Instagram is now off the table for me. Somewhat confused and disappointed as I have NO IDEA what it was I did that breached their community standards. I did research online before signing up as I’d never used the platform before so I thought my due diligence would see me right but clearly, I missed something.
Not sure if Facebook is worth a try? I stopped actively using it in 2018 but I dip in every now and again to keep up to date with creatives I like/follow.
The ultimate goal is to establish a YouTube channel one day but I first need to learn how to edit videos (and what software/app to use), but also make sure I have the time to dedicate to it.
