Pinterest is banning users for no reason -- BACK UP YOUR PINS!

I haven't seen anyone talking about this on tumblr or in the shifting community so thought I'd make a PSA. People are getting their accounts completely banned for no reason. Years of boards lost.

A little while ago, Pinterest fired 95% of their staff and switched to AI. Moderation is completely run by AI. Unfortunately it's not very well trained -- cause you can't feed it illegal obscene imagery in order to train it.

So it's been trained based off of user reports. But the problem is that it can see something like yellow walls in the background of a graphic NSFW image, and then start flagging completely innocent pictures just because they had yellow walls.

And you can be banned for just having pinned a completely innocent image. Not even uploading. Just PINNING an innocent image. Years of making pinterest boards, DR visualization, craft ideas, art references, all GONE.

It doesn't matter how innocent your pins are. And unfortunately, the obscene images aren't even being taken down all of the time. UNFORTUNATELY, all reporting pins does now, is give the AI moderation more feedback to ban innocent users... And then put more obscene images into your feed because you clicked on it to report it.

I've had simple line drawing art tutorials get flagged. As well as a picture of a beach. I'm not banned yet, but it's happening to so many people, it's gonna happen sooner or later. You can try to appeal the ban, but it seems like it only works a small fraction of the time.

So yeah. Wanted to share this because I've seen some of your AMAZING pinterest boards that you've spent so much time on, and I would hate for all that work to be lost.

This is a list of things I've seen ppl get banned for, as well as pins I've had report messages about myself. Might be good to avoid pinning these, or removing these from your boards: -Pins with large areas of skin showing. Doesn't matter if they're technically covered. Bikinis, modeling, ballet dancers, cheerleaders, shirtless men, or paintings with exposed skin -ANIME. Just pins with the anime art style are getting flagged. -Renaissance art images -Rooms with blue walls or yellow walls. -Art references. Yes, even simple line art / general form drawings. -Pictures or drawings where people are close together. Cuddling, kissing, fully clothed, doesn't matter. -Recipes. ??? -You can get a violation for saving a pin from a user that had another one of their pins get flagged. -Pinning images too quickly can get you spam violations.

I'm going to switch over to cosmos.so and refern tbh

the cosmos app is a great substitute for pinterest, it just takes some getting used to!

if pinterest does mistakenly suspend your account ( this has happened to me in the past but was resolved within 48 hours, despite quite a bit of anxiety ), follow the instructions in this article. when you submit your appeal, you can copy-paste the message at the bottom of the article in your appeal to make it easier ! 💛
