"The thing about YouTube is, in all of its glory– it kind of is a machine. It makes creators believe that we have to pump out content consistently, even at the cost of our life, and our mental health, and our happiness."

As of right now, @instagram has not implemented batch comment moderation. They do not allow delegation of moderator privileges to separate accounts. Beyond the ability to accept or reject message requests, there is no filter or blacklist function for DMs.
