#2This happened to a close relative of mine who has had an IG account for a very long time. Twitter has a lot of activity too.

Yeah a friend of mine has the same issue. Said he got a notification his account was suspended and when he tried to appeal the decision he just gets an error.
His profile comes up with 'User not found' when I checked it. Very strange.

#4I am one of the suspended account. Yesterday was election day in Brazil, but I didn't manifested any political positions. Imagine how hard was for Brazilians to think about why this has happened.

#5Happened to me this morning. Account banned, username isn't even visible, recovery flow ends up in a combination of error messages/timeouts/rate limits. I don't do much on the account outside post ~once a year, like things and watch the occasional story.
Reddit and Twitter are full of similar reports.

#6It happened to me this morning. And going from this Reddit thread and twitter it’s pretty widespread and also random.

#8Happened to me as well : posted a comment on my friend's picture, and was sent to a page notifying me I had violated community guidelines. Tried to go through the "challenge this decision" process but I got stuck after entering the SMS verification code.

#9Happened to my account too, and also getting stuck at the recovery page with a loading progress spinner only.

#10I'm just hoping that if enough of these "incidents" happen, people will eventually stop using proprietary social media applications and use something free (as in freedom) and decentralized like Mastodon.
