If you are relying on a third party social media platform for your business:

- make sure you have at least 3 aged accounts that have full administrative privileges. When one gets banned make/buy a new one immediately.

- never use a business account for personal reasons

- use a third party service for the sms verification, and a unique email for each account.

These three rules have kept me out of trouble in spite of repeated bans.

The only reason this works is they haven't taken you seriously yet. Sooner or later they will just ban all of them at once. Correlating them really isn't hard.

Yeah I don’t even change ip addresses.

Where do you keep getting banned and why?

Platforms never tell me why I’ve been banned, so I don’t know. But I’ve been banned at some point by every social media platform I’ve used except hacker news and Google.

With enough moderators or administrators over a long enough timeframe, banning is semi-random and ultimately inevitable unless the user is Big-Name or the platform dies first. Misunderstandings, technical errors, and administrative misbehavior conspire to make it so.
