<p>So, my <span class="h-card"><a href="https://threads.net/@youronly.one.ofcl/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronly.one.ofcl</span></a></span> account was suspended because I logged-in to <a href="/tags/instagram/" rel="tag">#Instagram</a> side and added a verification code to an older selfie upload. Now I no longer have access to the large <a href="/tags/filipino/" rel="tag">#Filipino</a> <a href="/tags/threads/" rel="tag">#Threads</a> community.</p><p>This is the second time already, the first was my original account `youronly.one` and no one from Instagram assisted even after I went through their Face Verification process thrice.</p><p>Anyone who can lend assistance to get my `youronly.one.ofcl` account reinstated and have it placed in some whitelist so their automation scripts are not hitting it with false positives? I rarely login to the Instagram side because I don't need it, the only reason I have it is because Threads originally required an Instagram account.</p>
