Ref: mastodon/mastodon#22706 (comment)

I wasn’t aware that it was even possible to update user preferences from a third-party app, so this PR adds links both ways to show that it’s possible.

@j-f1 is attempting to deploy a commit to the Mastodon Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

it's not

at least, not really. as explained in mastodon/mastodon#22706 (comment):

update_credentials is not intended to be the way to set all preferences, either -- you can only set three specific preferences related to authoring statuses, and only for historical reasons. see mastodon/mastodon#7021 (and consider it half-done), i suppose.

I don't think this is valid so I'm closing.
