๐ธ Instagram: We Tried!
Some of you may have seen that we recently launched an Instagram account and even announced it in our June newsletter. We were excited to join the world of hashtags, inspirational graphics, and church photos. The account made it all of 24 hours.
In that time, we successfully posted:
โ
A welcome message
โ
A scripture reflection
โ
Information about Sunday worship
Apparently, this combination was simply too much excitement for Instagramโs automated system, which unexpectedly deactivated the account for allegedly violating โcommunity standards.โ
So yes โ our church was apparently flagged by the robots.
While the situation caught us by surprise, weโre choosing to laugh about it and take it in stride. Technology doesnโt always cooperate the way we hope, and this just happened to be one of those moments.
For now, our Instagram plans are temporarily on hold, but weโre still hopeful weโll eventually make our return to social media โ preferably with a slightly friendlier reception from artificial intelligence next time around.
Until then, you can still find us right here on Facebook, on Sunday mornings, and anywhere else humans are still making the final decisions. ๐
