i know this isn't the place but pls – need help recovering my insta archive (@escobarsoap)

hey everyone,
i know this isn’t really what this space is for but i’m desperate tbh.

my instagram account @escobarsoap got randomly disabled in march it wasn’t spam or anything like that. it was an archive page where i curated art, music, and culturally important stuff. kind of like a mini online museum.

i was building it up as a passion project and planned to include it in my uni applications, since it reflects what i care about. now it’s just… gone.

here’s everything i’ve tried so far:

submitted all the official appeal forms multiple times

uploaded real ID: passport, birth certificate, national ID (NIN), vaccine card. IG’s system kept rejecting everything.

reached out to Meta employees on LinkedIn and X — no replies

asked around Reddit, Facebook groups, even used some “support request” services. no luck

i don’t even know why it got taken down. i never broke guidelines, never posted harmful stuff. it’s been frustrating and exhausting.

so now i’m just trying anywhere that smart or connected people hang out. if anyone here:

has any contact at Meta

knows a workaround that worked for them or someone else

or just has some out-there idea that might work

please help me out. even a lead or a tiny suggestion would mean a lot. i’ll share whatever ends up working so it might help someone else too.

thanks for reading 🙏
