I don’t think the problematic political part is a person basically saying “Oh, I’m queer btw”, but the mod team redacting it.

I also think that trying to supress political discussion in the forums of an OS literally called Ubuntu is beyond ironic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
