Earlier today, Instagram made us delete one of our posts, about British colonialism in Anguilla, threatening to reduce our reach if we didn't, so we deleted the post. However, since then, we've been unable to access our account. We are trying to get our account back, but in the meantime, please help us out by letting people know here and on IG what happened, and encouraging people to join our email list to connect with us independently of social media corporations: shop.workingclasshistory.com/p

@workingclasshistory Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. The more people that walk away from Meta the better.

@workingclasshistory
Contest it, rather than delete. I did with a post on Facebook re Gaza. They told me it went against their 'community standards'. I told them they were wrong. They reviewed it and decided in my favour.

It is sometimes possible.

@workingclasshistory It's not like Colonial Britain atrocities are a secret. Is there anyone who isn't aware of colonial sufferings? What a weird thing to censor?

@workingclasshistory @trending_bot Gotta love the grip that mass social media holds on our freedom to communicate. Right?

Did they give you any insight on how exactly an event from history went against their policies?

@workingclasshistory so you self-censored in order to feed the algorithm and get your other posts seen by more non-follower people? Seems like six of one and half a dozen of t’other to me…

@workingclasshistory yes, centralised services just do what they like. It's harmful to support them, and lure other people into using them, making it worse. These networks abuse people, who moan but never leave. I think Instagram are giving a clear enough signal. And they are not going to get any better.

@workingclasshistory You can't build your thing on top of their thing. You are their employee.

@workingclasshistory I’m currently working on a book about social media. May I have permission to quote this post and/or publish the screenshot you’ve posted?

@workingclasshistory Well, it seems almost all the posts I see here about any of the big platforms is, "We posted something true, and they fucked us over about it big time..." Good luck with getting this sorted, but stay active here so at least we can see you here...
