Image previews not showing special characters?

Take this post for example https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1181311055243255891 the title has a question mark. Attached to this forum post is a photo of what an image preview looks like to discord. It seems that the question mark / special character doesn't appear?...
Solution:
Yep that’s a bug, thanks for the report I’ll fix it

Support for text embeds?

Not sure how this can work with the discord API (i do see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53201455/how-to-get-discord-bot-to-read-embed). Would be good for longform answers instead of breaking it up into multiple messages
Solution:
File previews are planned but also I think are gonna be a bit of a security nightmare so I need to make sure they’re implemented correctly

Should an answered forum post be automatically closed on discord's end?

Since each server gets 1000 threads, an active Q&A server can easily hit that. Wondering if we can send in feedback for feature request to auto-close a thread if forum post is answered. (Right now I'm somewhat going to solve this using mee6 automation)
Solution:
Ah yeah that'd be good I'll add a setting for that

Messages from the bot are not marked as consenting?

On this page: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1091370232033050746 We see a thread that contains only two messages, one from me and the other from the AO bot itself. For some reason, the AO bot message is not public. Additionally, I am a member of the server, so I'm not sure why I can't see all messages anyway. Probably any bot should be marked as consenting automatically, since they can't opt-in themselves and... they're bots....
