I like many others have recently had their account wrongly accused of CSE and when asked to "appeal" it was denied five minutes later clearly by automated AI moderation.
But rather than complain about always having to defend against false claims by Instagrams buggy AI, or the complete lack of customer service, I want to talk about how the app experience itself is become horrible over the years. Full of ads, bot comments and an inconsistent moderation where some accounts get to post outright racist and nude content while other accounts which art small art accounts get monthly bans due to faulty ai. Many of metas userbase joined at a time when the social media giant was still relevant and meta doesnt have the humility to admit they are a dying social media platform that is losing their relevancy. Like or hate it, Twitter is still a platform where the first news stories hit, and however you feel about Tiktok it has struck a cord with billions of users. Metas only relevance is with the very old who have zero media literacy and fall for misinformation and easy to spot scams by ai bots, and a slowly declining userbase that will eventually switch to tiktok or twitter once meta eventually degrades the quality of the app until it is unuseable.
Even if the ban wave is fixed, it is a symptom of a much larger problem with the app, it is slowly losing relevance and it is only a matter of time until we all move onto something better. Save the time and move onto another platform now.
