Those first two deserve to be called out. The rest...of course not.

My wife is on the 'hood listserv, which is just NextDoor for the Olds.

They like to post pictures of cars that are driving like assholes on there. I love it.

(But they also bitch about a lot of things that for are for the days/minds of ppl with nothing better to do.)

My friend got kicked off of Nextdoor for trolling everyone. Someone kept going on and on about uncollected dog poop and it just kept spiraling into inane discussions.

He simply kept intimating that he was the one pooping, not a dog.

He finally went "AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!" to which someone reported him and his account was banned.

He got kicked off of Facebook in a similar way.

Be careful on the facebook marketplace. Know someone who got scammed out of a not insignificant amount trying to sell a couch.

Sorry buddy, but it's pretty unbelievable that (A) you found a buyer for those rookie cards you stocked up on and (B) that they're worth all that much.

Yeah, they got scammed, which sucks, but yeah, there's some complicity involved. I don't want to get into too many details but it involved a fake cashiers check.

Yeah, he was a piece of shit in high school too. He got picked on a lot, which made me want to feel sorry for him, but then I'd talk to him and realize he mostly had it coming.

Looks like there's a Twitter account for this type of stuff.

It's called "AI Slop."

A bat-shit conservative co-worker commented on my post that trump wasn't sleeping but he just blinks a lot. And she had the nerve to call herself an independent when she very obviously is a trumper unless she's just posting pro-trump stuff to be ironic? I'm not engaging because I'll end up saying something I shouldn't say to a co-worker.

Having major regrets of never adding this person as a friend because I want to comment on her post so bad. A mom from the elementary posted, without comment, an explanation of things that went down during the opening ceremonies. One of our neighbors, who we avoid like the plague, posted this in response.
Neighbor: Wow! So you are going to defend the people who tell your kids to cut off their body parts and sterilize themselves. And you are going to tell the people like me who say this is extremely inappropriate to keep our mouths shut because you feel the need to defend evil if it comes in the name of diversity and inclusion. I will not be silent because truth is not hate, truth is love and men can not be women and naked men should not be running around in front of children.

Mom: when did anyone tell my kids to cut off their body parts and sterilize themselves?

Neighbor: are you not paying attention to any of the things going on around us? It is pervasive. The LGBTQ culture is full of people who are actively convincing kids to change their gender and take sterilizing medications. Have you not heard from people like Chloe Cole who tells how she was tricked, as a child, by both the psychological and medical community into cutting off her breasts and taking male hormones. Have you not heard about libraries all over the country who promote drag queen story hour as a way to desensitize kids to sexual perversion? Do you not know there is a “church” right here in Katy who uses their “church” grounds to convince kids to change genders and hide it from their parents? They brag about their “trans” parent closet all the time. Do you not know that the people from that “church” are pushing Katy schools to allow high school boys to use the girls bathrooms. Do you not know that a group of kids at Tompkins were mad that the boys are no longer going to be able to use the girls bathrooms when they wanted, and vice versa. Do you not know that our school libraries are full of books that tell your kids they can change their gender and discuss all sorts of rape, molestation and perverse sexual acts. Do you really not know any of this is happening right here in Katy?
These people are deranged, weird, and honestly, when I see people post shit like this what I really want to say is that they are so far removed from real faith to be so completely victimized in their own heads that they focus on shit like this and not their actual faith. I also want to post link after link after link of pastors of right-leaning churches being arrested for sexaul assault of children.

D has the right response for a funny reaction. For a response that really shows them how much of a nutcase they are, I like to go with:

"That's a pretty extraordinary claim. Do you have any accompanying extraordinary evidence to support that claim?"

I'm not friends with her, but she doesn't have her profile set-up in a way where I can't see anything. She's been on my friends you may know for forever and regret never adding her so I could respond. My wife is too nice to say anything on other people's pages either.
