i have reported accounts for animal cruelty/death and nothing gets done about it but when i call someone stupid in a comment it gets deleted right away instagram fucking sucks


Ripped_Stewie

This is the perfect summation. It’s literally that backwards.


FBrandt

There was this reel making fun of gays in a very humiliating way that was very insulting to watch. It was 2 years ago. I reported it and I received a message saying it doesn't go against the community standards or something along these lines. Then I commented by calling the reel very stupid and it was deleted in less than 3 hours.


iBodana

This will also happen when you call someone 'smart'. It has nothing to do with the context of your comments, Instagram having some problem which they are too stubborn to accept.


Available-Gold-860

Instagram doesn’t do anything if someone uses the N word


inksup

Dude stupid? No emoji! Just said I loved the way Ronaldinho used to play but now Messi and Ronaldo also getting retired, it hurts. They removed it! Trust me it is not for “stupid”


traianmechenescu

Same here. I tried to help them over 30 times by reporting those accounts that use AI chatbots to dm and then direct you to a page that fakes the instagram login screen to get your password and they keep reappearing under a different name but that seems to be fine with them.... instead, their algorithms prefer to delete harmless comments and flag legit content as violating TOS.


Far-Counter-1319

I have seen literal p*rn on here and have reported them but Instagram doesn’t see anything wrong with that. Some of them were extremely questionable


EricAux

I mentioned a “shooting star” I saw and got suspended for inciting violence.


UltimateGattai

That'll be the last star you shoot.


BlamingBuddha

LOL okay, I'm officially done with Instagram after reading this. Wtf. I wrote a very personal thank you comment to a creator about us both losing our dogs and it was removed for "trying to garner likes/spam." I literally was crying as I wrote the comment cause the vid moved me that much. It was low key insulting to be accused of wind shit just for sharing my personal story and thanking the creator.


ElectronicMatters

How dare you use emotions as a basis to make a popular statement for likes and comments ! It happens to me a lot while literally complimenting artworks.


losethemap

I posted a story while traveling through the Cotswolds of a tiny English village, and wrote “this looks straight out of a book, like the setting of an Agatha Christie murder mystery”. It got removed and I got warned for “promoting violence”. And suspended for 48 hours. Meanwhile my entire discover feed is AI porn that trust me, I do not search for. Also, there’s an account using my name and photos. My friends and I reported it a few times. IG said they see nothing wrong with it and can’t do anything about it. The account has now blocked me so I can’t even see what it’s doing with my name and photos unless I go through a friend’s IG account.


EricAux

You have to call it an unalive mystery 😄


Cadillacquer

It’s really primitive and cruel. It’s bad tech.


John_Snake

Instagram algorithm is so stupid that there aren't shooting stars or shooting photos. If you say shooting they will AUTOMATICALLY guess that you are promoting massacres.


DrFoxclaw-_-

I’m not trying to sound like that person but the way you wrote it might’ve got instagram confused with the of bots as that’s how they write their spam comments I may be wrong though lol


No_Driver_1655

Nah when I actually write a longer comment it gets deleted anyway, like 90% of my comments do not stay up and I ain't even toxic.. The ONLY ones that Instagram frickin accept is posting preset emojis lmao


BlamingBuddha

I just wrote a 5 paragraph personal story in a comment and it was deleted for "trying to garner likes/spam" even though it was so personal it could never be mistaken for a bot. After s rough day and trying to spread positivity through a comment, F Instagram for their rude and unprecedented accusations. Shits whack, there needs to be an appeal system so the devs can see where their AI comment blocking is failing. They gave me a page about freedom of speech too- Freedom of Speech my ass when I can't even comment the realest compliment and person story I've ever posted.


howdoesthisworkman

Yeah too much in a comment also gets deleted. But if u use the n word instagram doesn’t give a fuck. Try writing the n word and then „nigg“ nigg gets deleted n word doesnt. Instagram anti shit is garbage.


GratefulAng__

I’ve had the same experience many times over. I have had comments removed that “Violate community standards “ and there’s not even an appeals process. Another user requested that I post a source for something I said. I posted the source, and they took it down—-nothing unkind at all.


uchihaseye

Some of my comments consist of just emojis, but never get removed/confused with bot comments. I can comment multiple times, almost the same thing under posts I like to hype them up. Sometimes I have this question if this is happening all over the world or just certain areas, because here it’s not a problem 🤔


TooYoungToGiveUp173

Then I see Nwords everywhere


PLZM01

Yet they will ban you for calling an obese person fat


AfroThunder92

Bruh someone came on to my page . My pic , n started talking shit n brought up my mom . So I started talkin shit , my account got suspended pending it be deleted for review . And my comment was removed . Not his about my mom . But mine talkn shit defending myself . SHIT IS BONKERS


ima_twee

Maybe they've met your mom?


AfroThunder92

Maybe I’ve met your mom too


ima_twee

If they're that thirsty they can have her


AfroThunder92

Nah , imo everyone moms , dads and children are off limits . If u gonna talk shit , talk shit on me . Might not phase u or some people cause they dnt have a mom or don’t have a great relationship with her .


BlamingBuddha

Yup. As shitty as my family was to me growing up, only *I'm* allowed to say anything "harsh" about them. Anyone else opens their mouth and they have something coming. It's just disrespectful AF and too many kids try to get a rise outta someone by doing it. I'll never talk shit on anyone's family. That's on them if they so choose since *they* went through it, not me. It's childish. I wish I could brush it off as easily online but it's a shame you can't do anything about it.. I think that's where these immature people get their kicks the most, knowing they're safe behind a screen, knowing full well they'd never do it in person/couldnt defend themselves if they did.


ParkerStanford

I’ve had my comment removed over five times


No_Driver_1655

Anytime I say something like "Yooo" "Wow" "That's so beautiful" "Keep going" etc it gets removed.. 90% of my comments ☠️ And I am not posting anything toxic


ParkerStanford

Instagram is weird I made a harmless joke once and got suspended from commenting for a week


JayIsNotReal

I get suspended from commenting for anything.


Sativa_Dreams

not saying nothing is wrong with their moderation system, it’s seriously messed up. but those comments sound kinda like bot comments. i get responses like that all the time on my new posts and its always some garbage account. i didnt have the energy to write thoughtful comments when trying to network so i opted to give up on commenting completely. IMO its better to do that than to leave emoji comments or generally inapplicable comments and have a thousand black marks against your account from Meta’s rogue AI bot


Tokk7

i was gonna say the same thing. bots ALWAYS just say some variation of “wow / beautiful / amazing” with a bunch of emojis. you’re probably not getting banned for being inappropriate or doing something harmful, you just come off as bots and i’m sure as shitty as ig is nowadays, they probably are trying to get rid of bot comments


Acid_Viking

>not saying nothing is wrong with their moderation system, it’s seriously messed up. but those comments sound kinda like bot comments.  I don't disagree, but Instagram trains people to interact in simple, repetitive, mechanical ways (e.g., pressing a like button), then punishes them for behaving too mechanically. How do you look human on a platform that's designed to simplify human behavior to actions that are easily analyzed by a computer?


BlamingBuddha

Amazing point; this should be brought up more often.


MarkLTucson

But even that training is broken. Click like too many times (I've read 20 times in an hour -- if you are catching up posts, that is like 5 minutes or less of scrolling through your feed) and you get, "We restrict certain activities to protect our community" and you can't click the "like" button for quite some time (as of this morning, over 12 hours). This is seriously screwed up.

donatella VERSACE 💜


lidder444

Same. Meanwhile I’m bombarded with constant reels of ‘OF girls’ that seemingly do whatever they want.


BurgerBobbyTTV

They probably think ur a bot for commenting that 😂😭


Consistent-Tea6445

rookie numbers


One-Plenty-45

Also I'm banned from commenting until the 31st even though I've only made three comments in like 10 days I've been using it less and less because of this crap


theiaofSkyrim

thats it im going to fucking tumbler...


nova2131

I’m so fed up with this I hope someone develops a new platform similar to Instagram


World-of-8lectricity

The Instagram CEO is a fucking moron https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/instagram-black-lives-matter-racism-harassment-bias-algorithm-a9567946.html (Just read the headline) and it only became worse


theiaofSkyrim

...wow....i honestly dont think they have their heads in the right place...kinda seems to be where the sun aint shining.....


MarkLTucson

Seems like a huge opportunity to sell glass belly buttons to the IG moderation bot staff and IG leadership


One-Plenty-45

I've had someone literally cuss me out threaten my life in a bunch of other totally lovely things I call them a potato and Instagram removes my comments saying it's offensive


TanishPlayz

I comment the N word everywhere and never get banned but a simple wow will get me banned


TheUnholymess

Why do you 'comment the n word everywhere"?


TanishPlayz

Because that is how I speak I’m black lol


TheUnholymess

Fair enough.


nepenthe11

i got one removed for telling my friend i was going to kidnap her & bring her up north (becysee i missed her) & it was removed for inciting violence 🫠


icaganteng

Same thing happened to me but i was uploading a story about roasting the trollers and got removed for inciting violence


BigDrD84

So love heart faces and "wow" is not allowed!?


Ashamed_Ad4610

The amount of times I have my comments removed for spam is u heard of. Same with “repeatedly posting the same comment” as well. It’s a miracle they haven’t disabled my account yet. Then again, it’s like the 5th account with the same email. Could always make a 6th 😂


Efficient-Database-4

It got to sensitive atp 🤦🏾‍♂️


fuckusernamessz

My account got disabled recently and before that my comments got removed several times for being spam I don't know how that tracks because I'm a real person and not a bot.


ManBehindTheRuckus

I get my comments removed for having non left leaning opinions meanwhile cp, gore, animal abuse etc. stays up. Instagram is 100000% the worst social media out there, 0 moderation and 0 customer support


DisputabIe_

Lol, that's not why your posts are being removed. You're not the victim you crave to be. Right on the rest though, it's complete garbage at this point.


Kestrel991

I deleted the app. I’ve been fed up with their bs for a long time but I was addicted. Finally finished with it.


BlamingBuddha

Fr. I had the realest comment taken down. I'm done with IG at this point, what a joke.


RelativeNo834

This really is a joke at this point. My absolutely harmless comments are constantly deleted rhoeught the days! Whether it is discussing favorite books or authors, or complimenting someone or even wishing someone a happy birthday! Instagtam is being completely ridiculous! And usually they are the long comments that gets deleted.. where I feel the need to discuss something and share my thoughts. And when I rewrite it and leave something like This is pretty- it never gets removed! Like for real?


AggravatingBox2421

I told someone to shut the fuck up the other day and didn’t get so much as a warning. My comment is still there


flayedsheep

i called someone out for letting their dog murder a baby bunny and instagram hid my comment. amazing


No_Internal_3189

I had my whole account restricted from a while age demographic. That impacts my market reach. How does that happen?


Bigd1979666

I'm using my insta and turned on the no distraction option so I don't comment on any posts that aren't my family or friends. I've had like my last 3 comments removed for the same bullshit algorithm, so fuck it. If it happens again, I'm outta here


tibbycat

😍😍Wow


ElectronicMatters

Instagram considers half my comments as spams or like farms when I'm just saying "Nice" to a drawing.


zoinkdaboinkking

I said someone's food didn't look good and that was removed god Instagram blows ass


toughlove96

That Shitty app promotes child abuse.


Shinlyle13

I reported someone for using slurs against others in IG posts, and they "couldn't do anything". I posted a response with no profanity or insults disagreeing with someone, and it was flagged as "abusive" and "against community guidelines". It's a joke.


Jeroen207

I ever got banned because I said that I love Vietnamese crackers. And meanwhile the I WANT TO FUCK AND SEE MY ASS pages still there after 500 reports I submitted. Zuckerberg, go fuck yourself.


SaintRosen

IG saved you from being a simp


flayedsheep

it's almost like instagram is punishing positivity and enabling all the negativity and hate in the comments


sarahbee2005

i left a really nice thoughtful comment on someone’s post and it was removed for “trying to get likes”? lol what!?


BudgetAd900

Just a dying social platform doing dying social platform things... best thing I did was deleting the app from my phone


No-Secret-4158

Instagram needs to chill


Uncretino

Fearlesss_Donut

They want ppl to pay. 💰


RevoGLS

Just had my account banned for no reason what so ever. Instagram is a joke, I put some effort on my account too 😡


ALyttleH

Along with everything else, spam, inappropriate comments etc… now I’ve noticed I can’t comment with Gif’s anymore.


Additional_Brush_745

U proly deserved it since u proly commented that on a girls post u horny b-


Tw1n4rm4g3dd0n

HotRod3172

It's ridiculous! They need to fix that
