A squeakfest is pretty much any social media website where all people squeak constantly non-stop about unimportant stuff while getting too emo about it.
Big obvious squeakfests are Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook to name a few.

Tom: Twitter claims to be a diverse all-inclusive website, but everyone on it is an emo squeaker. I don't get what's diverse about that when everyone on it is just squeaking non-stop. Point to me one Twitter account of someone who is not a squeaker!
David: I cannot! I'd have to go on Twitter squeaking to do so. I'm not a squeaker either, so no dice! Twitter is definitely a squeakfest!

Kicked out, banned, taken out with the trash!
It's a term reappropriated from Computer Science, which reappropriated it from Garbage Collection Trucks.

Steve: What happened to that office delivery dude that keeps delivering a Hawaiian Pizza every time we order Deep Dish Pizza?
Richmond: Garbage Collected! We had him escorted out of the office building yesterday and told him to never come back again!

Monica: This girl keeps showing up to class drunk! The teacher finally had her garbage collected!
Samantha: And, what might that mean exactly!?! Did the teacher pick up the trash from around her seat at class or something?
Monica: No need. She was the trash!! He picked her up and took her out with the trash, telling her she was suspended from class for the entire semester!

Aaron: "Sell! Sell! Sell!" says the Mad Money dude. Do you buy that!? Everyone is listening to him blindly. I don't get it.
Oliver: People bought his line about the market bubble. Idiots Unite!
Jared: Well, if it isn't the smart and talented Charlotte?!?!
Charlotte: What's up Jared?!
Jared: I saw a whole bunch of people following you after class yesterday. What happened!?
Charlotte: I told the instructor I missed the exam because I found out I was pregnant. People kept bugging me afterwards about who the father was. Idiots Unite! Hello!!! It's my new husband Baldwin, who else might it be!?!!
Sophia: Skiing in the summer?! Who does that!!!?
Scarlett: Apparently, Lisa and company. They haven't had enough skiing in the winter it seems.
Sophia: Oh wow! Didn't they go every weekend!!? I mean, I go three times a year and that's more than enough. In the summer, it's beach time baby!
Scarlett: I'm with you, summer means sunbathing on the beach every single day! Let's just leave it at Idiots Unite! Lisa and her friends seem to really dig summer skiing instead. Their loss.

The Cult of Niceness is a recent phenomenon mentioned in a write-up by Bruce Frohnen about how some people prioritize "niceness" over doing what is right, masking a very deceptive act of discrimination that pretends to care about everyone equally while in fact favoring certain people who are unethical to help them get away with murder over others who are ethical and deserving of good treatment.
The phenomenon does not take into account that if you are "nice" to the wrong person (e.g. a thief, a corrupt officer, or a bad manager) or at the wrong time (like after someone caused harm to others or damaged people's properties), you are actually not being nice to the good people who would negatively get impacted by being nice to a bad person at the wrong time. In other words, the "niceness" that the Cult of Niceness promotes is not even real niceness at all. It is only a corrupt shallow naive version of niceness that is not good at all and is only meant to excuse the evil actions of evil people.
Usually, there are benefactors indirectly benefiting from the Cult of Niceness, whether financially when people are not reprimanded for falling for certain addictions (e.g. porn) or immorally when normalizing and excusing certain immoral behaviors.
Members of the Cult of Niceness hypocritically do what they decry by yelling rudely and angrily at the person they perceive as "not nice" without being nice themselves, negating their credibility and becoming easily ignorable by everyone.

In the 2010s, the Cult of Niceness became popular in online social media networks as mobs of unethical people would harass certain ethical people they deemed weak, unconnected-to-high-level-people, and worthy of being hated (while hypocritically claiming they were against hate). And, if the harassed people tried to defend themselves against the rude comments of the unethical people, they'd get suddenly called out for not being "nice" while the unethical rude harassers are let off the hook as "simply expressing themselves" and "not being hateful" despite their obvious hating on the ethical people they harassed.

A home owner got robbed through breaking and entering, and when they found the thief leaving with their belongings, they yelled at the thief to drop everything they took, but then immediately, the Cult of Niceness police cut the home owner off and asked them to be "nice" by not yelling at the thief rudely, thus allowing the thief to escape.

Someone on a mountain was running towards a cliff that they were not aware of, so another person loudly yelled at the runner to warn them they were going to fall off a cliff, but members of the Cult of Niceness immediately cut that person off before they finished their warning to inform them they were not being "nice" to the runner due to yelling rudely, which prevented the runner from hearing the warning that was about to save their life, and ended up falling off the cliff, benefiting benefactors of the Cult of Niceness.

Dave: So, what do you think of React?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: OK, Golang?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: What about Node?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: Wow! Are there any technologies that are not BIFI by the estimation of software architects?!!
Tim: All technologies that fit a pro & con trade-off analysis! Unfortunately, none of the technologies you mentioned make the cut if a software architect were to put two and two together. Many wannabes these days don't even think about why they are applying a technology. They just monkey see monkey do!
Matthew: Tim, the software architect, told me that React is BIFI, but I don’t understand why?!!
Joe: React assumes a dumb audience to start, among many other reasons.
Matthew: Are you suggesting they assume I am dumb if I were to use React?
Joe: Exactly! For example, bidirectional (two-way) data-binding has been a staple in desktop application GUI development for decades, but React refuses to support it because they say most developers are too dumb to reason about it successfully.
Matthew: What’s wrong with that!? They’re making things more easy for us, no!?
Joe: I doubt any beginner would call React’s style of code easy, so I’m not sure they are anywhere near the target they claimed they were aiming at if that’s what you’re asking.
Matthew: Are you suggesting the makers of React themselves are dumb too?!!
Joe: Now, you’re truly getting to the bottom of why Tim used the term BIFI about them. React is literally By Idiots For Idiots!
