Recently, our moderators made the decision to remove the word “queer” from a user’s introduction post here on Discourse. In the moderator discussion with this user, the moderators also advised the user to remove a trans pride flag from their profile pic. This was a mistake and we apologize for that.

      Snaps are bad for two reasons:
