Read on Twitter
Alright. Time for some 
advanced avoid-automated-Instagram-deplatforming tips.
1. For old posts, use Web Inspector to read the auto-generated image description alt text. Delete any w/links or keywords that might be flagged in the future.

2. Text inside IG stories (AND posts) are scanned visually, so censor words in ways that are _optically_ different.
Worse: s€x, t¡ts
Better: s//x, t!ts
(If you want to see how a machine might interpret your text, you can test in Google Photos > Lens.)

3. Use a burner account to test new posts & stories before posting to your main account. Blatant infractions (e.g. banned words) should be flagged within a few minutes.
4. Links in bio are crawled & scanned. DON'T get clever here & use redirects (this is spam behavior) or link aggregation services (these will be crawled).
Twitter is _theoretically_ safer, since by nature it's difficult to crawl/cache & has a bad signal:noise ratio.

5. Delete. Old. Stories.
Old stories inherently aren't "private",
& safe, bc you can add them to a public highlight any time. It takes a lot of time & resources to scan old content en masse, so the butt selfie that was safe last week could get flagged next.

Professional advice aside, here are some anecdotal notes:
- Archived story removals appear to happen on an account-by-account basis (so you get multiple warnings at once)
- Repeated automated flags usually trigger a human review
- Ads + sponcon + monetization = huge risk increase
