Hello, I am new to the site and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is a browser limitation. Linking images to posts seem to work fine, but this is not an option for avatar icons

I am getting strange JSON errors whenever I attempt to upload or paste images either in posts or at profile settings “Browse…”

I am not too familiar debugging/logging browsers, but here’s some logs I found from both Firefox and Chromium

OS: Arch Linux 6.4.7 Browsers: Mozilla Firefox 116.0, Chromium 115.0.5790.110-1

Error attempting to upload avatar icon: Firefox
