Why your content was hidden, and how to appeal

Nobody else can open it. You still can — it stays in your list with a banner explaining why, and nothing is deleted while an appeal is possible.

Hiding is reversible in a way deleting is not, which is why it is the first step rather than the last.

Either enough different people reported it, an automated check flagged it, or a moderator decided it breaks the community guidelines.

The reason is on the banner and on Settings ▸ Account status. Some hides are provisional — applied automatically while a person gets to it — which is exactly why they are appealable.

Settings ▸ Account status lists every decision with an appeal button. Explain in your own words why you think it was wrong.

One open appeal per decision, and one attempt per decision within a month — the limit exists so the queue stays short enough that appeals actually get read.

A warning is a note on your account with nothing taken down. It is a signal, and it is also a record — a second warning is recorded as a second warning, not folded into the first.

Warnings can be appealed like anything else.

You cannot sign in, so the appeal cannot live inside the app. The suspension email carries a link to a web form; if you no longer have it, the form can send a fresh link to your address.

Suspensions are reversible, and an appeal that succeeds restores the account rather than rebuilding it.

A person reads it and either restores the content or leaves the decision standing, and you are told which.

If a decision is overturned, the content comes back as it was — nothing was deleted in the meantime.
