Instagram

Acting calm and brave is not how I really felt on the inside when my instagram account was deactivated. I felt sad, anger and insecure.

Social Media have a lot of negative impact on my mental health, especially Instagram, which once was the most important tool for me as an artist. I talked about this quite a bit in the past, but I always told myself that it would be all right in the end. But when my account was deleted by instagram a few days ago for absolutely no good reason, I had a nerve breakdown.

For the past two years, I had a lot of anxiety, stress when it comes to Instagram. At the time, I thought it was OK cause I had a big following, and I thought it was OK to be judged all the time for the least irrelevant detail. But then I started to have creative blocks, I was so afraid to publish my comics on Instagram that I started to lose the joy of creating comics.

Now I don't have an Instagram account anymore. And I don't have to check the likes or comments every two minutes anymore. Strangely, I feel... relieved.

sorry bro

Ron Ron

Like I don’t understand there are far more “revealing” pages in insta and they deem your to violate their terms?!

Alejandro

I think it's terrible that they did this AGAIN! Is there an appeal process or something?? It's horribly unfair to you!!

Tammy Dasti Fisher

Dude I hate this happened to you when there are pornstars on ig showing there butts all the time I wish I could talk to someone that could help

jamie

Social media can be toxic and bad for mental health even for me who don't depends on it for my income. I hope you will find another platform to thrive again.

Amanda Lee

Song, I've been concerned about the social media pressure you've been under. I sincerely hope Patreon and other platforms for your wonderful work are helping to take up some of the slack. Hugs....

Tim Clements-Levin

Not again! I'm sorry I enjoy your art and stories. No matter the language , the content. The emotion. You put yourself into then and that's what makes it a guilty pleasure to read

Andy Q

Love you so much. Please take heart in those that support you here and know. Of all the Artists I support, you were the first and would be the last I would get rid of because of expense or lack of sexiness. The moment you turn into something else. Please go on. I love you and your work. Keep on truckin.

Danny Provencio

What? Again? I don’t understand. Your last account was nothing short of rated PG. That is so absurd. I’m so sorry. Please do not let this affect you. Maybe it’s time to contact Instagram at the corporate level and have a discussion.

Inna Gerber

So sorry this has happened to you, but their policies regarding your work and the way they have treated you and your account are the reasons I decided to become a patron! 😁 Maybe others will be encouraged to do the same! You're a very talented artist, and you are telling worthwhile stories that the world is craving, so please please please, don't be discouraged! We Love You!!!

IG is just plain weird. The randomness of shutdowns... sigh... You have a home here on Patreon. I am happy to have followed you here

I'm very sorry to hear that. :-( It sounds like you're free of all of those shenanigans. I was sad to read that the stress of Instagram was making you not want to make comics. My partner and I love your work and always look forward to your next one. If being free of Instagram lets you feel that joy again, then it's definitely a good thing to be rid of it! :-)

Sorry to hear that. But now, you are a free soul which not controlled by social media any more. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Thank you very much, Walter. 💕

SONG Inkollo

Merci beaucoup, Martin. I appreciate a lot your support, and I'm sad that I lost that connection on Instagram with you, but I had no choice. About the photo competition for the Pride month, I still think it's a good idea, but I just don't know if my mindset is in the right place for it since I don't have Instagram no more. Gros bisous.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Dominick. I really appreciate the support I get here.

SONG Inkollo

Unfortunately yes.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Jose. I don't understand Instagram's double standards, either. I tried to, and I made a lot of changes, but nothing seemed to be working for me. Luckily, now I don't have to figure out what's wrong with my art anymore cause I don't have to please Instagram anymore.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, William. At the moment, I don't feel safe putting my comics anywhere else but on Patreon. Social media is completely unstable and I'm getting afraid of it. Hopefully I will keep on creating for the next 20 years. Hugs

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much Adam. Like you said, I don't understand Instagram's double standards. I think it's unfair that I got censored that much. At one point, it's too much for me to handle. Maybe I'll see something good coming out of this bad situation. Hugs.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you, David. Instagram is quite special to me, cause I remember for the first two years, I replied to almost every comment on that platform, I built a connection with my fans, that's why it hurt so much when I lost that connection after my account got deleted. On other social media, I wasn't that engaging so it hurt less if I lost them. And you are right, I'm dealing with it now so my creativity will be protected.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Pete. It's really really hard to find the right balance, and believe me, I tried hard to find it. But instagram is like a drug and I was addicted to it. I have to cut it off, in order to save myself from going insane. I'm aware of the possible loss, but I had no choice.

SONG Inkollo

You understand my situation really really well, I thank you for that. The popularity can be a big burden. While I was telling my truth, I was also telling my flaws to my audience, and it didn't seem to be a big problem at the beginning when I was unpopular, it only became a problem after I got a big following. That's why I felt restricted, and less creative. For me, art is all about being different, being edgy, provocative and true to myself. But that's not what most social media want. To be honest, I never planned to quit Instagram but I had no choice. I'd rather lose followers than hurting my mental health.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much, Aidyl. That's really sweet.

SONG Inkollo

Thanks, Stuart. You can see the X rated drawings here, on Patreon.

SONG Inkollo

I'm sorry that this keeps happening to you. I'm happy that I found your Patreon and appreciate the look into your life.

Walter

Don't worry man! It's gonna be better now. At least, i had time to find you before you quit it. I will continue to follow you here and on the discord ;)

MARTIN Matthieu (Lahirz)

sorry this happened... makes absolutely no sense... Your fans will follow you here and wherever else you have your work.

Dominick

Again?

Jorge Suarez

I remember when you used to post more risqué content on Instagram. I do not understand how people who wear jockstraps on their posts and show off their naked asses do not get admonished by the Instagram Gods. You just post comics?! Not actual people! The double standards in Instagram are hilarious.

The reason I am a member of Patreon is because of you... Here you are able to express yourself without having to worry about being censored. Never stop doing what you love & I ain’t going anywhere for at least 20yrs plus...

William Deutsch

Don't worry man, we're here wiith you and here no one can ruin your fun! It's sad when you see a lot of accounts with bad stuff and scams and they keep going on. Some people just don't want others to be happy 'cause they can't be happy themselves, they keep worrying too much about others life and work...But who likes your art will eventually come here to appreciate! Wish you the best!

Adam

It's can be horrific and stressful trying to please the social media that you want to post on, but sometimes it isn't worth it. Seems like you are dealing with it and using other social media channels that won't stifle your creativity or your art.

David Lee

Feels like a tough decision to make but the right one! Instagram is only one social media tool, those who value your work will follow you via other social media services and I’d imagine most are doing that! I do - also agree social media at times isn’t healthy and the trick is to find the right balance and not beat yourself up as I’ve come to realise you can’t please everyone 😊

Pete

Ah, I'm sorry that you discovered the sick paradox of social media. To become popular, one "must" be an authentic, complex, and flawed human. Once even slightly popular, anything but PERFECTION, according to arbitrary and changing rules, is punished. This punishment mostly comes from other social media users. But when the platform itself crashes upon you, for being the WRONG kind of imperfect, while letting actual neo-fascists continue, there is a real problem. I am entirely unsurprised that people are quitting.

Rood Inverse

What has happen was really a bummer cause I love love your comics and how cute you guys are together!! Luckily there’s patreon and I don’t mine spending some cash on things that I like... Thank you for being a creative yet funny comic... LOVE IT

Aidyl Sophian

I’m sorry to hear that. Where will I see the X rated drawings now?!

Thank you, Michael. I was used to censor my creativity for a long time, I'm happy to forget all that now.

SONG Inkollo

I hope you find it a bit more freeing being able to ‘be you’ on here than feel the need to censor yourself for instagram

Michael

Thank you JP, big hugs.

SONG Inkollo

Thank you very much. And I'll keep on creating despite what the social media think about me.

SONG Inkollo

Hug. I’m sorry this happened again. I’m happy that your fans still see your work though.

Jp

This is our society now, how depressing . But we are here with you and love your work. ❤️

Nikos

Thanks a lot, Jessica. The good thing is that I'm feeling more creative now without Instagram.

SONG Inkollo

I'm so sorry friend. I look forward to seeing what in store for Tomte war and your daily life. Your the high light to my day

Jessica Shontz

Thank you, Danny. As long as my fans are still supporting me on Patreon, I think I'll be OK.

SONG Inkollo

I’m sorry they did that to you
