I hate #Instagram, their developers, and their agents.
(status: trying to prevent a meltdown)
Context and details.
1. I seldom (rarely even) use my Instagram account. I log in when I have something to share. I don't even go on a 'liking' spree, and I only leave comments when there's something to say.2. I don't even follow accounts here and there. I only followed accounts that I'm a fan of, or I am interested with their content.
3. I have #TwoFactorAuthentication
4. I have a postpaid mobile number attached
5. My email, using my own domain name, is the one attached to it
6. I provided my real name in the account section, just exactly for verification purposes if needed (if they ask for an ID or something).
7. I did not upload any “re-upload”/“re-share” content.
See my #Pixelfed account: https://pixelfed.social/i/web/profile/350686112577015419 That's practically the same content as I have in my Instagram account.
YET, they started to ask me for #selfie #verification since February 2023.
I complied.
* The first selfie verification, they approved it. But did not inform me, no email whatsoever.
* The second selfie verification, they approved it and sent an email apologising that it was a mistake. (See attached screenshots.)
* The third time, the current one, was last week. They did not approve it. No email whatsoever. I can no longer login to my account.
I complied with their selfie verifications even though I am very uncomfortable with it. I am #Autistic, and I hate these types of verifications (selfie, video), but I complied.
And this is what I get in the end?
What is the use of #2FA if they are not going to use it?
I can not help but conclude that #Meta and #Instagram is anti- #autism. I am #OpenlyAutistic in my online accounts, and I do feel targeted in this situation.
Currently, for the nth time, I am doing my best not to have a #meltdown just because of this.
My last attempt is this thread over #Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourOnlyONEofcl/status/1637050270235643905 If you want to help, and I do need the help, please reply and tag Meta and Instagram. Maybe even worth tagging #Facebook as well.
