I'm Banned on Insta? 😨

Hey everyone, I have an odd update to make.

On Monday my Instagram account was perma banned at no fault of my own. Tens of thousands of other users has also had their accounts randomly banned with no appeal since June 4th due to Meta using AI moderation. Looks like the ban finally came for me this time.

Most important news first: anyone who is part of the shout out tier, feel free to request a refund from me for this month and I will refund the full month back. Because of the Instagram ban I was cut short on delivering on that promise of shouting you out on my posts for the full month but at least I can try and make things right on my end.
Going forward, I'll most likely post more on Twitter/Tiktok and include a shoutout image that accompanies my posts with your name on it, it's my hope that you continue to stay and support me.

Nothing changes here for you on Patreon, I'll continue to draw and post when I can (I have a ton of drawings in the backlog still to finish!) so I hope you stick around and see what's next.

Lastly, for those who reached out and offered words of comfort and support I can't thank you enough. This has been nothing short of devastating for me since I built up my Instagram from nothing since 2023, but life goes on and we all need to keep moving forward. I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to everyone but know that your words mean the world to me in this weird time.

I've also kind of been wondering to do next since I was most active on Instagram, sometimes I'm hopeful that Meta will reverse the ban once they realize what a massive PR nightmare this is, and other times I think I need to move on from Instagram and probably continue on Twitter or Tiktok. Feel free to suggest other platforms to try. (deviantart, furaffinity, newgrounds, I'm open to anything now)

Thanks for taking the time to read and I will see you in my next post!
