Instagram suspended our account, one we've never posted from, just added a link to https://pixelfed.org in the bio.

take it as a win, dont stay on that shithole
@pixelfed Inst... Who??
@pixelfed I had an email saying that the other day too. I think it was because I don't use it. 😂
@pixelfed I found no official Meta rule banning Pixelfed or links to rival platforms. Reports from 404 Media, Engadget and Daring Fireball say Meta/Facebook removed some pixelfed.social links as “spam” in 2025; Engadget reports Meta later called that removal a mistake. The relevant official rules are Instagram’s Community Guidelines and Meta’s Spam/Inauthentic Behavior policies against spam, scams, and artificially boosting likes, follows, shares, reach, or engagement.
Let go!
@pixelfed if you got suspended by the Markhole, you've done everything right
@pixelfed They're probably trying to hide Pixelfed... Not surprising from meta
@pixelfed Start sharing your user data with brokers, insert ads into Pixelfed and introduce AI to your Android app.
They will probably reactivate your account after you have done this. 😅
@pixelfed Mine is finally almost gone. Full removal in a few weeks. They did the hard work for you.
@pixelfed if pixelfed joins the diabolic data buisenes, then pixelfed would be welcome
@pixelfed I heard Instagram are mass purging inactive account.
Lots of influencer are repoeting thousands of lost followers.
@pixelfed i had uninstall instagram and started uses pixelfed as a healthier alternatve
@pixelfed they're sore losers
@pixelfed LoL. They aren't even hiding behind a mask anymore.
Just wait until they get a private army like Russian companies!
Let me confirm your suspicion.
Yes, it was suspended exactly for the reason you believe it was.
We've been cracking down on service providers that provide products or services in direct competition with our own.
Even if we restore it at a later time, expect to be more easily scrutinized.
