My Instagram account - which I used a small handful of times since whenever I opened it - was apparently hacked. The FB notice said that “I” had posted things it doesn’t allow. The notice named an Instagram name I’d never heard of or seen. My FB account had already been frozen (disappeared?) so I couldn’t contact FB directly. The notice said to report this to Instagram within 6 months if I wanted access to my FB account again, or it will be deleted. I did that, but have not heard anything back so don’t even know if the report went through. I’ve heard of similar things happening to others, and now to you. I was considering leaving FB anyway but not in a manner that didn’t notify my friends and groups. I’m “sure” it’s not, but this kind of thing is beginning to feel a bit eerie. I’m now on BlueSky and Substack, where I mostly follow others.

Oh wow. So I’m not alone! It seems a bit cruel just to delete us like that - no warning, so recourse. It IS eerie. Thanks for sharing!
