Memes. Communities filled with trolls and most all content created as creative writing exercises or trollbait. Communities filled with indignant self righteous members trying to force their own worldview or morals on the rest. Politicising everything.

“Ya’ll can’t behave.”

I mean, I have nothing against moderating whatsoever and I appreciate good mods. But that specific phrase always made me cringe. I just hope I don’t find every potentially controversial post already locked when I open it with YaLL CAn’T bEhAVe or similar condescending laziness at the top.
