At my last job some intern burst into Slack calling everyone "mald" for disagreeing with his sexist memes. That whole event was just a couple of hours.
Tf is mald?
I assume the intern meant malding? As in, he's saying everyone was upset.
TF is "malding?"
Apparently it's some kind of Twitch meme.

Damn I'm old
I believe it's supposed to be a portmanteau of "mad" and "bald," possibly implying that we were discontent merely because of age.
The portmanteau is correct, but "malding" means that the person is balding from sheer anger.
It's a slang term used as a verb usually. To mald is to be mad. He was calling them mad.
Maybe maid? But i am not the original commentor
Mad while balding.
When you are so mad you bald
Mad while balding.
