On the linktr.ee page, we can see a butterfly icon which corresponds to the first hint:
The butterfly icon leads to sto4.bsky.social which indicates that we should search on the social media Bluesky.
By searching Bibzy Clickbear
in Bluesky, we found one user who seems to be one of the kidnappers:

Unlock Hint for 0 points deja vu
After reading all the posts we found nothing interesting.
