The post on Mastodon has a screenshot of the post edit history:
And a copy-pasted response from a moderator (the most relevant bit):
So in my opinion, if your intention was to show political support for diversity, you should avoid using this flag. This will allow us to refuse the use of a flag for instance saying ‘non-queer’, If we allow your flag, then we have to admit also other similar political flags, both supporting and opposing diversity.
But why must they also allow bigotry if they allow people to express who they are? That is the biggest load of shit. So if I say “I have a husband of X years,” they must also allow someone to say a bunch of bigotry as a counter view?
Or if I say I like open source software they must allow the trolls that want to call me a dirty hippie and tell me to get a job so I can pay for software? And I agree everything is political, and ignoring it doesn’t make it any less so.
Sure, up to the point where they harass someone or attack them, or have a history of doing so. A belief of “I think some people do not deserve to exist” is different from a belief of “People should be allowed to X” or “People who Y should not be harassed”. A nazi sympathizer who thinks nazis shouldn’t be attacked is fine, a nazi who attacks others is not.
I agree in principle, but you’re not going to win any battles with that mindset. They’ll just respond with “so much for the tolerant left”. Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.
A brick is approaching a Nazi’s teeth from an initial distance of 10m horizontally and a velocity of 10m/s. You may assume the absence of air resistance and treat the brick as a point mass.
Calculate the initial angle(s) required to remove the most teeth and determine whether the Nazi can complain about the tolerant left before a brick removes their ability to speak.
This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn’t gonna happen. If it were that easy, we’d have done it already!
We may have to coexist with them from a logistical standpoint but we do not have to tolerate them. The paradox of tolerance is that we must not tolerate the intolerant.
Okay, that’s pretty difficult to read but it’s something.
But I checked the Ubuntu Discourse thread just now, and the statement “I am queer” has been restored by a mod. Hopefully the other mods are reminded of the policies they’re supposed to be following.

But there aren’t any political flags on there…
The flag wasn’t removed?
Consider the following: no, they don’t.
People unironicly think being trans is a political statement. People are really dumb.
Crazy statement, if we accept the gays we should accept the nazis too.

Nah, fuck nazis. They don’t deserve to exist.

Our terminal liberalism forbids us from saying one thing is better or worse than another thing !
You have to understand, it just wouldn’t be fair to put inclusion over exclusion ! You care about equality, don’t you?
That response does not appear on the Ubuntu site. There is no source on the mastodon paste.
The OP on Mastodon shared screenshots of the replies (can’t tell if they were originally in the forum post, or if it’s a DM):
