That's what happened to me. Repeated attempts to load it made a prompt to clear cache appear. I haven't had a full crash yet. Maybe there's other offending posts. This one is in thee communities though so it could hit a lot of people.
Edit: it's something to do with the user. They made another post in cryptography that breaks sync for me too.
They're on a different activitypub platform.
I'd be cautious.
These malformed images may be malicious.
A malformed image should not cause a crash. I'm not sure what libraries Sync uses for this stuff, but the bug should be reported upstream (assuming it's not just some exception mishandling going on in Sync.)
They're on a platform I don't recognise.
