#instagram just suspended my main account, apparently #instagramcrashed is trending and a bunch of random people been suspended. I feel anxious over loosing some things, like all videos and photos of my now deceased dog. There will be art that will disappear to, but i always back up such on my PC or multiple platforms.
@Tarqueth Yeah, One would think something like this would be more something that happened to a younger platform tbh. And its probably a good idea, save the name incase someone tries to snatch it for dumb business. I sometimes even make accs on new " promising" sites just to keep my nick free from impostors or similar lol
@Zolah You'll be happy to know that if you ever shut down your CoSo account, no one can ever use it. The usernames can't be reused for the exact reason you stated... Imposters
@Tarqueth I like that, Alot. My handle is part of my identity by now, so id like that people can be safe that 95% of the time its me theyll find
@Zolah Here's the user guide for CoSo

@Zolah I'm so sorry about the photos of your dog.
@OneLillieSpark Luckily they fixed the issue now, so I have full access to my account. Which feels great phew
@Zolah That sucks. I haven't logged into my instagram account in a long time. I should probably just private the account and remove the app.
