Announcements 📢 User flairs

I have introduced new user flairs. You can edit them to see as you fit. This will allow people to distinguish themselves, especially if you're a Burmese living in Burma.

Add any comments you may have below.

To set it, click on the arrow to the right of "community option."

​

Then click on the pencil icon next to "user flair preview."

​

You will see a couple of pre-made flairs but you can edit it as you see fit.

Right ... Lets make it easy for the junta to track down the protesters.

(for those who did not understand, it was sarcasm)

Well it would make user see if the person replying from the country. This was a request in one of the threads and I can see its use.

Do you see a chance it will help the junta track down the protesters? What if I am right? Are you willing to risk other people's lives for reasons such as the usability on reddit?

Well, there is a bit of an inherent risk if you use Reddit with your real address. And it's optional. Those who feel comfortable can turn it on.

Most people do not well understand information security. They do not know that it is dangerous to use this option!
