I can't say I have too much advice other than to always use strong passwords, don't share passwords across sites, use VPNs on public routers, and stay away from posting videos of yourself on cancerous engagement metric-driven social media.
Many people aren't fans of Insta/FB but they need to use it for reaching their audience.
If you use Instagram and then your account gets taken over, it might be convenient to be able to alert at least some of your fans by posting about it on Tiktok.
Better yet, even if few of your fans are on your official site, having an official site means you're not 100% locked out of your own identify when your Insta is taken over.
Of course maintaining a website is probably not the forte of most Instagram hot-shots, so this is by no means an easy solution.
It's unfortunate that these big social media companies let people become successful without fully understanding what they're up against after reaching a certain threshold.
Collective action needs to be legislative or legal in order to actually change things.

I think it's you, because I see criticism levied against TikTok here all the time.
> I'm a huge fan of TikTok because after years of content stagnation and dullness, the internet is fun again.
Just for contrast, this is how the second-highest top-level comment starts:
> I like to think of TikTok as the crack cocaine of addictive social media. I used to think my dopamine receptors were burned out by the constant barrage of memes I received from reddit, Facebook and Twitter but TikTok proves they can refine that product to make it even more potent.
But evil HN is always only criticizing Facebook and letting TikTok get away with everything, sure.
I feel we're just reaping the reward of our vacuity.
