That’s actually super cool!

I had the same issue after adding a Mastodon link to my bio. I used Jerboa to delete my bio, profile photo, and header photo, and then everything worked fine elsewhere. I’ve since reuploaded my photos and edited my bio without consequences. Your mileage may vary, but doing this fixed it for me.

I used to use Void as my main distro, but then the developer drama made me shy away from it (keep in mind, this was like forever ago and I haven’t looked at Void at all since). After that I floated around trying everything, from Gentoo to the BSDs (I know, not Linux). Nowadays I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I got tired of doing everything manually and OpenSUSE just makes everything so much easier to use, IMO.
