Great to have you back,

Lots of love from Craft Festival ❤️

Hello all,

We are delighted to announce our account has been restored and we are officially back on Instagram!

After a week of uncertainty following our account being falsely disabled for not following Community Guidelines on spam, the brilliant and Andrew Proctor at Digital Culture Network and were able to flag the attention of Meta and get reinstated.

We want to say a huge thank you to Nicola and Andrew, and to everyone who has supported us in our efforts to get the account restored — whether that was a like, follow, story, comment, or message.

We’re thrilled to be connected to our digital community once again and we’re beyond grateful for your kind words — they were so heartening to read while the situation felt hopeless.

You can follow our back up account — though we hope there will be no need for it!

Otherwise, stay tuned here for more news and content from the MAKE Southwest Team, our incredible Maker Members, and wider craft community.

With love,
MAKE Southwest

Our friends from Make South West need our help! Please Help 🙏

Everyone, please share.

Here is a message from them.

Hello all,

On Tuesday 1st October, Instagram permanently disabled our account, , alleging we had violated Community Guidelines on Spam.

We have appealed the decision in-app to no avail. There is no way to contact Instagram or Meta directly for support, and so we turn to you to help us any way you can. Please share this post and tag to let them know they have made a mistake.

had almost 13k followers and over four years of content. The decision to disable the account was entirely automated and we believe it is unequivocally a mistake.

Please help us restore the account so we can get back to doing what we love — sharing the work of our wonderful Maker Members and connecting with the wider craft community.

With love,
The MAKE Southwest Team
