It seems like there’s a hidden character limit in the bio that isn’t obvious until it’s too late. Fortunately, I had my old bio open in another tab, but I was experimenting with formatting by adding flair to items (for example, ((raptor chicken egg))). It looks like repeating something like that ten times doesn’t count as 10 characters. Instead, it’s treated as the full text length, so about 24×10 (240 characters total).
When I added this, it caused text at the bottom of my bio to disappear without warning.
If a character limit has to be enforced, a better user experience would be to prevent new input once the limit is reached, rather than silently trimming content.

agree! either a big expansion of the bio character count, or collapsing an ((item)) into one character would be super nice.
