Yes. Everything from encouraging group think, not checking sources or even asking, believeing everything posted here either out of a place of laziness [can't be bothered to look into something] or a naive assumption that everyone here is "one of the good guys", claims to the effect of "I don't need to read it to know...", screaming about not accepting other people's forceful authoritarian ideology while in the same breath cramming a right leaning specific blend down others usually with some religious justification. In turn its shutting down logical, rational, and factual conversation. It's also alienating people discovering the site for the first time.
A lot of the more ridiculous claims are being made for the sake of making us look unhinged to anyone new stopping by. Like an AJ scenario. Solutions? Demand sauce. Dont accept people's sketchy screenshots. Ask yourself why they posted a screenshot [which can be totally faked] instead of an archived link. In cases where it's meme like then sure, a link isn't needed for a joke, but that's not what's happening here, it's people making wild claims from a screenshot with no proof of any of said claims. Enable your downvote ability via community styling and use it. If something sounds like utter bullshit call it out.
