My guess is that a new account making 20 posts in a single day is a red flag for spam behavior. It would probably be best to post at a more natural rate.

Well, I guess I'm forever lost as a user, since I'm banned for doing the very thing that they encourage... sharing my original content.

I disagree, though, that it's spam behavior. It's "well, it's time to set up my account" behavior.

I mean, it's not like they could provide for a human to review after they asked for me to take a selfie. A selfie that shows the same person as the one that has used the facebook account with the same email address and face for over a decade... No, that's definitely asking too much. Or perhaps informing the user of concerning behavior, because all that they did was point to "community standards", which said nothing about what I was doing.

Apologies... my snark is not directed at you. It's just the exasperation towards a system that makes actual human participation impossible, while assuring that bots are the only ones who can get something done and yet stay under the radar.

>what I am doing is exactly the thing that Instagram was intended for!

Wasn't that before Facebook took over the company?

>what can I do?

Stay as far away from Meta as possible to avoid further enshittification?

>Stay away...

LOL Exactly!!!

I was only doing it because my family asked me to. Meta killed that, too, I guess.
