@Gargron I've had several people complain to be about being rejected when posting media due to size. So far, I can't reproduce it, though

@Gargron the report is related to profile picture size, not in normal posts. I suspect that is working as designed.

@Gargron @jerry So there's an old bug that causes a few problems with GIFS /2467 where the aforementioned workaround does not resolve the issue. I noticed it when I signed up for Mastodon. Even changing the compression level of the GIF didn't seem to work (I tried a few sites). (Basically, I had to use my Discord avatar's profile link to re-dl the same GIF in order to work around this issue). Screenshot below:
