218: Why your Accounts are Getting Banned...Mycology Meets Social Media

 In this episode of Flora Funga Podcast, KK sits down with Victoria to explore the complicated intersection of mycology, social media, AI moderation, and content creator survival. They discuss why mushroom-related accounts and cultivation content are increasingly vulnerable to automated takedowns, how AI-driven platform policies can misread educational mycology content as harmful, and why creators need stronger backups, clearer disclaimers, platform-specific strategies, and community advocacy. Victoria also shares practical insight into account recovery, algorithmic bias, AI governance, and how mushroom educators can stay resilient while continuing to spread fungal awareness online. 

 This episode is for educational and informational purposes only. Any discussion of mushrooms, mushroom cultivation, social media policy, account recovery, artificial intelligence, or platform moderation is not legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. Listeners are responsible for understanding and following the laws, regulations, and platform policies that apply in their location and on the platforms they use. Flora Funga Podcast does not encourage illegal activity, policy evasion, or unsafe mushroom practices. Our goal is to support education, awareness, responsible communication, and better understanding of how mycology content is treated online.
