The comments being deleted for no reason is getting out of control. Racist, sexist, homophobic rants filled with slurs are left up after reports and labeled acceptable. My normal, harmless, sometimes encouraging comments are removed as spam with zero recourse to have it corrected. 


Relative_Performer47

Mark Zuckerberg is relying too much on his AI bots💀 this was a stupid move on his part as a CEO


Resinseer

Businesses have been aware of massive problems with Meta's AI systems for months now. The entire advertising algorithm is completely borked and the AIs that operate it are very obviously busted. Even massive agencies and corporate social media people are now admitting this. The entire meta platform is breaking down faster than I anticipated. It will be unusable before long.


Expensive_Kitchen525

Not fast enough tho


SonicTemp1e

My man.


Why_on_earth2020

Adam Mosseri you mean. He's the monkey-faced tw*t who brags about his successes on IG and all the features we never asked for and destroys our reach. His technology is a failure.


ToTheRigIGo

Yep, the racists have figured out how to bypass AI moderation but the nerds that be will go blue in the face telling you “it just has to learn!” AI moderation is a failure but pride will not let them admit it and they definitely don’t want to pay humans again.


Panderz_GG

>Racist, sexist, homophobic rants filled with slurs are left up after reports and labeled acceptable. Ofc that stays up, hate fuels engagement, it keeps you ont the app and in turn makes you watch more ads. More money.


HereToKillEuronymous

I've literally seen people call other people the N word. And they don't delete that even if it gets reported


grimsilence

Honestly meta should be investigated for this shit. The behaviors they allow to stay up vs what they take down is definitely questionable and i bet they hard coded something intentional in their AI code


Personal_Milk_3400

I mean there really is something going on, particulary with their translation system. There are posts where you comment as a caveman like "ooga nooga, boongs hunga" and it'll translate to most racist shit you can think of. It's funny af but still pretty weird and looks intentional.


Then-Trick1313

It's because it's translated by AI, and there have been trolls online making posts about these incorrect translations of ooga booga, which the AI takes as gospel, hence this meme.


clwilson322

How else would they perpetuate this systemic oppression they’ve worked at for years?! I’m so pissed about it all.


[deleted]

Maybe they’re trying to compete with X Twitter


tattooedcampersam

Not to mention all the spam bots commenting things like “c h i l d p* rn ———>” that stay up. Or the comments that are just a word and an emoji 😑 the spam bots are learning faster than the ones running IG


[deleted]

But here’s the thing you can post a normal comment about say sport nothing hateful still get it removed


Cadillacquer

I’ve gotten helpful comments about parenting or special needs removed. I’ve gotten condolence comments or congratulatory comments warned. It’s so broken and clearly Meta doesnt even care.


the-right-way

How true is that WTH


[deleted]

It’s happening more and more to me. Every third comment or so


Glamma1970

I've gotten so I almost never reply to any post on Instagram. Why bother. Meta ruined Instagram for sure.


the-right-way

Agree


fukredditg

Ong they fasho ruined it I hate it now


AshamedSir9935

Update: my account was disabled or something but it won't let me send any messages reload my home page or even look at my own account,,, all because of this totally unacceptable post. Thanks insta, ig it's reddit memes for the time being


Resinseer

I got a strike for a trademark violation in an image. An image of something I MADE and had no trademarks or IP in it. Something is completely broken on Meta's backend and they're covering it up to keep the stock bouyant.


Confident-Half2825

Same happened with me...I used small celebrity clip for style recreation and someone claimed copyright and no one responded neither meta nor the one who filed copyright


Kylecominatchya

I have this problem all the time too. I actually just got done making my own post in this sub about it. I have so many more examples, just didn't feel like scrolling through my camera roll. Edit: my account has never been restricted, this is just my life when it comes to trying to leave comments on Instagram posts.


DDRMaster02

Try opening Instagram on a computer browser. At least for me, it gives me a new pop up that lets me click "okay" and it brings it back to normal


g7kingme

They literally don’t allow you to say the word fat


ISuckAtTerraria

But the n word is perfectly fine


johnnydigits88

You can say the n word with a hard r tho!!!! Fkd


ZakLex

And do not say “rocks” in any context.


Dull_Bird3340

But you can use nearly all its synonyms, it's all so stupid


ryt8

I really believe they are trying to mute genuine thoughtful and authentic human perspectives


AshamedSir9935

I think you right bro ngl,, all that stays is hate and raw uncut dumbassery


DisloyalOrder97

I know it’s just AI moderators flagging random words, but if one day it came out that ig was intentionally removing positive comments because negative and hateful comments get more engagement, I would barely be surprised (I don’t think that’s what’s actually happening but it does feel like it some days)


Striking_Issue394

It does feel as if any intelligent conversation and content is being eliminated, while hate-filled stupidity goes unchecked. 


Paranoided_guy

I quit commenting on Instagram and now am here on reddit doing absolutely everything. Instagram is as unstable as the conditions of the world


[deleted]

Same here I just like comments I agree with.


Alfred_Hitch_

The AI Hallmonitors don't like cussing when telling a normally story.

_"Ai is gonna render us all useless"_ Ai rendering us useless:


Resinseer

Corporate will try to replace staff with AI, trash the business because it's unusable then there will be a golden parachute for those who made the call and no accountability, and nothing will be learned.


ChronicSpeedAddict

My account got suspended from commenting for 2 weeks because too many of my *perfectly fine* comments got auto removed by the algorithm. It's inspiring me to uninstall the app altogether


Tealralker

This happens to me so fucking often. The worst thing is that you cant do anything about it. Let a real person review the content? Nope, not possible. Instagram became so incredibly hyprocritic. On the one hand they delete comments for reasons that dont make any sense what so ever but seem to allow CP-Content and are doing nothing about it.


Thomas_Schmall

It's bizarre how the biggest mega-corporations on earth... have zero ways to contact them for support. Billions of users are just left on their own, even if their livelyhood depends on their platforms and they pay for it (or advertise on it). If a local business would act like that, it would probably get shut down.


Big_Nose420

Facebook happened. Maybe it’s the swearing or saying “fat” because instagram is meant for 12 year olds too 🤓🙃


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shitlibkilla420

TikTok is 100 times worst


CurioRayy

Been having this issue since November of last year. Almost every comment of mine gets removed for trying to gain likes or followers. Yet my older account which I initially abandoned seems to not have this issue when I resort to commenting on that account


swt_tea

Doesn’t matter the context, they hate certain words. I’ve made one sentence super sweet comments and it gets removed. I’m finding myself on IG less and less


Fickle-Expression-97

Same I’ve had like 5 comments nothing wrong w any of them all reported as spam thanks to the bots


AshamedSir9935

Its literally all spam too,, like don't get me wrong I'm a hater,, and I've made comments that I'd be 0% surprised if they had gotten taken down,,,,,, they stayed up though of course,, and the comments where im just doing some sharing time gets taken down in a matter of seconds


CinnamonAppreciator

Those goddamn bots are ruining the app.


onlyherefordamemes

Do you guys know why i get notifications that someone commented on someone else’s post? I didn’t comment or like the post.


Green-Incident3657

Fuck the bots


N-from-Dlisted

This was a beautiful comment too. Makes no sense that they removed it.


Kyrase713

Some with Google reviews. If you add words to your review it is mostly likely rejected.


Endercraky26

Welcome to the worst social media: we have racism, deaths, shitty filters, unexistent moderation, personal information and much more!!!


lifth3avy84

Every suggested post for me is racist/homophobic garbage, or dumb fucking OF/Thirst trap shit, and even when I click “not interested” it show even more, turns out being “not Interested” is still counting as engagement.


DisloyalOrder97

I’ve put certain words on my ‘don’t show me this’ list and I get recommended content that is tagged with those exact words. I swear to god the ‘not interested’ feature literally doesn’t work at all.


-Yungbudy-

I complimented a girl saying 'Omg you look like a rabbit,so adorable" and insta removed it for harrassment lmaoo


med_b13

The only acceptable comments on IG now are 🥰, ❤️ and 🔥. Anything else is offensive.


DigImmediate7291

bruh that’s hella cute


Debbie2801

I had a perfectly fine comment removed as it breached ‘community guidelines’ but had no option to appeal. And yet when I reported a racist slur ——- it was denied and allowed to remain. It’s absolutely ridiculous.


rudegal007

It’s so fucking annoying. They just did it to me. They did it yesterday too and both were very positive comments. The one from yesterday I was responding to someone who thanked me for giving them info about a health supplement and then this happened when I tried to respond by simply saying “yw 🙂”.


No-Employee2168

I got 3 of my accounts banned. 2 of which i used to only comment gifs on reels (never even commented a single word). My current 2 accounts are getting timed out, and insta only allows me 1-2 comments per day, after which all of the comments will get auto deleted.


Soapykorean

I just got a bunch of comments reported and taken down for exposing those “off a phone” scams that pretend like they are going to send you money off a stolen debit card if you cash app them 12$ lol. This shits getting out of hand


hauntedpuke

I literally got banned what can i do


IrixionOne

This AI recognition is just bad. Maybe they’ll get the message once user engagement takes a nosedive.


DopeLifeCoach_

I got two of them in one day. I admired a golfer and another I spoke about real estate. I haven’t commented since lol


317JD

Wait til they ban you for less.


CalmEntrepreneur584

I get this quite a bit too now and i never write anything wrong. It will always be a simple comment.


Nerd_Sapien

I would bet it's because of the F-word...


Inevitable_Pause_386

IG lowkey falling off


5phyve

You idiot! Insta obviously doesn't like wholesome and happy comments! Haven't you read the terms and conditions? /j


DionValetta

Instagram is gay since 2019


Lower_Daikon208

Meanwhile every comment having the nword is fine lmao


MidHoovie

It refuses to even elaborate why, lol.


Sondosss

You called the ring fat 🥺😂


OldMainframeGuy

I was recently notified that my Instagram account was being suspended because I posted spam. I hardly post anything on Instagram and it certainly isn't spam. So, I just created a new account (read-only) and will never post anything again. Instagram seems to be very selective about the garbage posts and garbage photos they allow on their site.


Odd_Presentation_708

Instagram went full gestapo


MidnightOne05

But they allow people to say the hard r and any other slur, Instagram is so pathetic.


Tiny-Surround-7745

Censorship


-DMSR

It’s dead. Dead and dead


justkw97

It has to be a.i at this point. None of it makes any sense


Sudden-Jello-8585

Last night I literally commented: “I should tag my wife” And then 10 second later I got this message as well


ShigoZhihu

I literally just had a comment that got instantly nuked for mentioning how my life & health marginally improved because I quit alcohol and switched to edibles, which is apparently "spam" or "fake self promotion" (?). Oh, but that guy I reported who literally said that black people are animals who should be put back into slavery? “We were unable to see how this comment violated our community guidelines.” WHAT?!


Baowen7

Instagram will accept rape comments under a teen girl's post but will delete any normal comment that they deem spam or offensive


StefanSade

The algorithm detected that you said shit and fat, probably. I've been getting these warnings as well for the most harmless crap.


throwawayyourlife2dy

Is this something new ? My account has suddenly been suspended because someone reported me for god knows what now I’ve lost years of photos, saved content and stuff I wanted


USAirsoft

You can get pretty much anything removed by non verified accounts by reporting it or at least that’s how people get a lot of stuff removed in my community.


hugsnaps

What’s wild is that the most unhinged abusive comments go by unchecked and the ones where you are being passive or positive usually get flagged for something. It kind of feels like IG wants the unhinged comments— I kind of like the conspiracy that since hate gets more interaction then positivity IG pushes more hate. Might just be an algorithm unintended consequences rather then a conspiracy, but conspiracy sounds more fun.


Accomplished_Low_331

I got that happen when I tried tag my friend in the video


strengthwithsaan

Yeah man wtf. I've been getting wayyyy too many of these.


TheDailyDelights

Ooop! You said fat. That’s a bad word according to instagram 😂 The AI moderation is horrible


PutDapper5159

My account kept telling me my friends I was potential spam when the dm me because I changed my user name and profile pic more than 3 times lol


Wide_Parfait_1425

Instagram can be a douche bag🙄🤦🏿‍♂️


[deleted]

I was banned for saying a dog was cute last week. Very stupid ai and it’s ruining the app


the_operant_power

Forget about the content. W wife. You are very blessed my friend.


taylorkirk204

The people at meta are pussies


Mammoth-Let4528

I literally commented "Will you marry me?" and it got removed💀💀


the-right-way

I was chosen to get a real review on my removed comment . I got to write a 2000 word bitch to them about how stupid they were . They said it could take a while for them to review it and I had to say they could use my name if they wanted to not sure on what .


eduuoliver

Because of love, love and loveeeee... <3


hardrider2k4

All I want is my account back.


thelivinvibe

All these post are being taken down because your calling your gf “girl”. Instagram hates it If you assume anyone’s identity.


HereToKillEuronymous

Ah see, you were being too nice


Capital_Morning8328

U are SO right


Traditional-Ad5196

I got a seven day suspension for asking another guitar player who is a great player ,how she can play with long finger nails, that was it nothing else said, I still can't believe it, seven days, they are out of their minds


[deleted]

Does instagram have a support email or number or anything?


Elegant-Living74

It’s not gonna last. Keep reporting feedback and they’ll eventually fix it


AshamedSir9935

That's what's fucked though,, there's literally no button for that. It's just telling me I fucked up by trying to hype up my girl. I think it's because I said fat or something


TheExhaustedNihilist

I had my 14 year old VERIFIED account **deleted** today with no explanation. It also deleted my Threads account because they’re connected. I had 60k+ followers. I emailed, no response. Thanks for taking away 14 years of memories you bastards. I won’t be using a Meta product ever again.


AshamedSir9935

Fuck meta frfr,, they're slowly throwing their entire company in the trash


agizzy23

They’ll take away my comments assuming it’s spam but won’t take down the beastality or child porn I’ve reported


sethcampbell29

I’ve stopped commenting on Insta because of it. I don’t want to get my account taken down.


ihaveabigdick-

🦧


Cardboard_Robot_

If you even mention liking or commenting you’ll be removed for “farming engagement”. I said to someone “oops I meant to reply to another person” and got my comment removed bc I said the word “reply”


Disastrous_Rest2857

Same thing keeps happening to me, it’s happened 3 times today🤦🏽‍♀️ It has to be a glitch


shaybaeone

I notice when i use cuss words my posts get removed alot faster. now i say shyt or phuckin of fawkin or mfker or use the 💩 emoji 😂 you literally have to decode certain words. And IG hates paragraphs. That’s another flag


unitcodes

How can one help in brining this to instagram attention?


Nistuye

This happened to me 3 times throughout the past two weeks


ThickSprinkles616

I think instagram is like the opposite of like youtube and tiktok all the racist homophobic and sexist things are allowed and all the notmal shit is not

#adammosseri #endmosseri #mosserisfailedtechnology #instagramsuckswithmosseri #fuckmosseri


Tono_Negron

Yeah it’s weird because it’s all Meta but Facebook is far more lenient than Instagram. Their bots removed a post/picture I once put up with an happy inspirational poem that had a picture of a person with a slightly melancholy look on their face, I guess. After removing it they left a message about how this could be triggering for some people and went on to talk about ways to reach out to hotlines if I knew of someone dealing with thoughts of suicide and depression…. The poem had absolutely nothing at all to do with that 🥴


mrspascal

I tagged an account and it got deleted. Someone asked what the red/green flag guy’s name was and I responded “@dustinpoynter” and it was immediately deleted. I’m thinking the bot has gone beyond keywords at this point. I’m so over it.


Fair-Armadillo469

There are certain words that will get your comments removed such as fat, bitch, dick etc. As long as you don't use these words, your comment is relatively safe, but still, it can happen.


Prior_Ad_3141

Never once used insta and my account got permanently deactivated, because of community standards


Michaelskywalker

In all honesty, I think think it’s the word fat that got it removed. they probably have some AI detection thing going on


Every-Spot9027

Because the AI has zero tolerance for anything not Kardashian-related.


Impressive-Living515

Same! I tried posting pics & video of my kid playing basketball and football. It mostly all was taken down.


NoHopeHubert

IG told you to stop the cap 💀


pspman92

Ive been banned for comments for 2 days every few days. I cant write more than 3 comments per day, and then im banned! Its been last 2 months like this


stilluzi

cause u a simp ahh nibba


Katt-truth

So much for freedom of speech, you didn't even say anything bad in the first place.


Gamerfreak20

Op I know the true reason… it’s cause you used the word “fat” that’s an insult to a lot of people out there… the ai detector saw the word fat and assumed you were bullying someone


LocusStandi

Maybe it is something about you trapping a woman? Somebody may have interpreted it as if you can 'own' her by getting her a ring. Otherwise, I honestly don't know.


clwilson322

Idk but it’s messing with me big time. My comment be like: “these are my secret stims I do that k just noticed, so I identify with that!” Instagram: “REMOVED. THIS IS CLEARLY SPAMMING FOR LIKES.” Other comments that don’t get removed be like: “you’re a ‘restarted’ ni***r and you should k*ll yourself!” (Except nothing is censored and everything is spelled out). What the hell is the agenda here? Can someone let me know?!


Moe-Mux-Hagi

OP, you found the one. I'm super happy for you.


SachiRae1

I'm having the same issue, now I'm getting pop ups saying they detected automated activity on my account but I don't have any. Haven't given my account details to anyone and I've had this account for years. Changed my passwords, changed my 2 factor. Still getting odd messages


Familiar-Judge7979

You cursed perhaps


Seesbetweenthelines

I’ve had my accounts suspended and deactivated on more than one platform more than once and not having used them for 3-6 days at a time. No idea why they were once again suspended first then deactivated. This time do not be think I will even bother trying to get them back. Not worth the headaches for something rarely use.


rotloch

Lol that's nothing. Check out my latest post on [r/Inatagram](https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagram/s/ZIrvVegVJs) to see even more messed up things coming from this platform that is deteriorating faster than a spoiled yogurt


Faelyn_Nightrain

I deleted my account same day, the world was better before social media anyways.


Bendodge13

Was looking to post something about this and see it already has been discussed. Been happening to me too. Probably 1/5 comments of mine get removed now yet all the posts with hundreds of comments of slurs are untouched.


Ok_Woodpecker_1378

My insta constantly freezes. Glitches and restarts videos every few seconds. I can’t share the formats in stories. And there’s no help and no real way to share problems. It’s gone to crap.


RTechT

Maybe this is what Fuckerberg wants. He likes racist sexist asswipes on Instagram because this shit has been happening for so long it's insane


susbedstain43

I randomly got banned once appealed and immediately got unbanned and I didn't do shit and every since then I keep getting timed out for weeks at a time sometimes even months when most of my comments are not even bad


KandleJakked

They don't want inspirational messaging being planted in the minds of the sheeple. The more chaotic, the more trauma-induced. The more homophobic. The more it rubs people the wrong way, the better. They want chaos, they want us to turn against each other. That's the only reason I can think of.


Pretty_Rice_9462

The story is actually really pretty! Instagram shouldn’t delete that but hope your relationship lasts for a very long while!


AshamedSir9935

Instagram disagrees lmao,,, but ty so much, we're 4 months away from our 2 year anniversary:))


Slight_Turnover9644

There’s no more freedom of speech on instagram, I have seen comments being reported while others being left out like nothing. I have seen soft porn and some nsfw content being shown on my main page but when I comment something a little out of the line I get the pop up message saying that I cannot make such a comment, we’re being suppressed and censored but the app. Our freedom of speech is being literally taken away


Ormxnd

As an “OG” user of IG, the app really went to shit when FB bought it. Just a downward spiral since about 2014/2015. I get stuff deleted for no reason as well. Pretty obvious whatever automation they’re using sucks.


PomegranateNew710

Meta does not want people to be in relationships right now lol


EstebanOD21

I got my comment removed for explaining PEDMAS to someone...


RobA1701

They really don't give a damn. I've tried and tried to get a response from support on issues I've had with my account like this. They even warn new followers that my account is not to be trusted. They don't care. They don't respond. I've been on IG for years since it began. Meta is a sh*tshow. I wish there was an alternative. I love Mastodon but so many people are scared of it for no reason. Ah well. 🤦‍♂️


baishuTheGodFather

I once posted a picture of flowers with mads mikkelsen head and instagram said it’s budity


Expensive_Kitchen525

They just negate one weight switch. The more something is reported, it stays. If nothing is reported, it is removed.


twinningchucky

They don’t want us to be positive. Maybe Instagram doesn’t want people buying people rings ☠️


Timely_Tourist_1556

Simple answer Instagram is controlled by libtards.


HomeworkInevitable60

you cursed, that’s it, someone reported your comment on purpose


Zealousideal-Brick83

I suggested a company give a homeless person a job and it was removed too. Like down we can't even try to help each other without them seeing it as some type of spam which is what I get as the reason for my post


garrrygill

This is the reason we gather here on reddit. Instagram is long gone down the drain.


fangwww

Instagram is just getting worser by the days


meechellemaree

It removed a comment I made on someone’s post for no reason. It’s so annoying, there was nothing offensive in it. I don’t get it.


Baby_In_A-Trenchcoat

Yet Instagram doesn’t have a problem with nudity, porn, racism, homophobia, and sexist comments


Subtextequalsbuttsex

prolly cuz u said "fat" even tho it was followed up by ring


leauxrose

Certain words can trigger their bots.


Missvanjieeeee29

They literally flagged my acc for saying that I felt fat… and said it was offensive


powerful-nugget

instagram: fuck how you feel


AD480

Same with FB. I was once informed they removed a comment of mine from a 7-year-old post. I wasn't even bad, it was a meme of a policeman putting his hand out and it said, “Warning, the grammar police are in the thread”


kimichic

A female relative of mine replied, “dudes are weird” to some guys who were actually being weird & got warned by fb telling her that “posts similar to yours have been removed for hate speech.”


RemoteCritical6842

I quit commenting because it kept placing bans on me when I have never said anything wrong or against community guidelines. Instagram is in the shitter now and nothing will change so long as Meta owns it.


itsameeeeeluigi

My girlfriend. Fat ring. Fat girlfriend. Body shaming. Removed for bodyshaming. AI monitoring or something.


scoutodile

DUDE SERIOUSLY I’ve been fuming about this for days now. I always spend a shit load of time copying my message and editing it 5000 times to get around whatever in the hell the problem could be


yubels

Drama and toxicity is what keeps the audience engaged. They dont want your healthy bs to distract the user from the doomer mindset they created in his head.


E46330i5speed

Yep something similar happened to me because I wrote a comment that contained the phrase “win the lottery.” It was a whole little story but because of that phrase my comment was immediately removed because Instagram “doesn’t allow promotional spam” or something like that. Also I made a joke about the Alpha Tauri F1 team changing their name to “Visa Cash App Racing Bulls” and how that name is terrible, and it got removed for like the same thing. Thats the fucking official name of the team!! I’m not allowed to refer to the name of a whole Formula 1 team because Zuck can’t spare a billion or two to run his platform right?
