Sick of MFM FB groups

Facebook groups are toxic. I've seen fan pages of discount grocery stores go down the same path - I think it's inevitable. The weirdest turn I've seen was a fitness group for women suddenly make rules how it's discrimination to want to lose weight and banned words like calories, pounds, etc, banned posts about "bragging" about certain achievements like running a mile in x minutes and pretty much anything that wasn't supporting their view. The group already had strict rules about no fatshaming, no "thinspiration" type of stuff, it was super on top of catching harmful behaviors, and the majority of the users were looking to lose weight in a slow, healthy way. I'm a leftist feminist myself and I can't even stand to be in facebook groups anymore - they always starts with good intentions but they all get toxic eventually. I think it is like a power trip for the mods or something.
