I teach 18 year olds who range in reading levels from preschool to college, but the majority of them are in the lower half that range. I am devastated by what AI and social media have done to them. My kids don’t think anymore. They don’t have interests. Literally, when I ask them what they’re interested in, so many of them can’t name anything for me. Even my smartest kids insist that ChatGPT is good “when used correctly.” I ask them, “How does one use it correctly then?” They can’t answer the question. They don’t have original thoughts. They just parrot back what they’ve heard in TikToks. They try to show me “information” ChatGPT gave them. I ask them, “How do you know this is true?” They move their phone closer to me for emphasis, exclaiming, “Look, it says it right here!” They cannot understand what I am asking them. It breaks my heart for them and honestly it makes it hard to continue teaching. If I were to quit, it would be because of how technology has stunted kids and how hard it’s become to reach them because of that.

Just sharing an issue I'm having, and glad if there's any potential solution. Thank you either way for your work on this app!

Issue: In any post comment tree, comments with images (or comments that are just images) appear as in the first example image - DominusOfMegadeus's post is just empty on my Connect for Android app. If I long-press and choose "Open," it will open a browser to the hosted instance and the image will show correctly, as in the second image.

Troubleshooting: I looked everywhere in the settings (both in Connect and in my instance's settings) and can't find something that could be limiting this.

Is this a bug? Or is there a fix I'm just missing?
