The act of being toxic in an online space is being unreasonably malicious/malevolent. Often using any and every adjective with a negative connotation that they can think of to direct at you or a body of people. Whether it be racist, homophobic, misogynistic, or bigoted. There is no boundaries to what they will say and are only acting that way as they are unable to do it in a IRL physical space as there would be consequences to their actions. Unfortunately there isn't whilst under the "invisibility cloak" of online anonymity.

Toxic workplace

A toxic workplace is somewhere you really don’t want to be as, even if you try to avoid it, you will be dragged into the backstabbing shit that’s going on and it will adversely affect you. It’s a place usually characterised by drama and infighting and where the personal battles between individuals or departments harm productivity. Toxic workplaces are often the result of workers who are, themselves, best described as toxic. These individuals are motivated solely by personal interest, the desire for money, power and status. They will use any means no matter how unethical, mean-spirited or illegal to manipulate the system for their own ends whilst undermining others and diverting attention away from their own shortcomings.

Toxic workplaces have been found to have profoundly adverse effects on the health and wellbeing of the non-toxic people working in them. The best advice if you find yourself working in such an environment, no matter how good the money or benefits, get out as quickly as possible.
“Malcolm’s crawling round Mark again trying to undermine Nick.”
“That toe-rag really is poisonous; he’s turning this into a real toxic workplace.”

Toxic friends

When one comes to the realization that their friends are not good for him/her. These so-called friends often backstab, gossip, lie, act selfish, use, belittle and even manipulate and are taking more than giving back to the friendship. Sadness and resentment is felt toward the toxic friends, and breaking away from these toxic friends is a must.
"So Claire, how is it going with you and Mary?"
"Don't remind me. She's a loser. She uses me and she's such a manipulator."
"Who needs her!"
"I know. I'm sick of having toxic friends. They ALWAYS bring me down. No thank you."
