Yes, we have also been cracking down an inactive accounts too.

Especially, if you're not part of the problem of us being a successful evil corporation, you're not welcome.

Let me confirm your suspicion.

Yes, it was suspended exactly for the reason you believe it was.

We've been cracking down on service providers that provide products or services in direct competition with our own.

Even if we restore it at a later time, expect to be more easily scrutinized.

Banning dormant accounts is one way instagram is trying to prevent all kind of scraping and bot accounts from emerging on their platform. So I would say you would have been better off by posting something

Obviously the work being done by Pixelfed and other federated platforms is being viewed as a threat to the monoliths that run these big tech platforms.
