I heard the term used a lot. What does the term fun police mean? Is it a style of deck, ie force of will deck in legacy that forces "fun combo decks" to be more interactive or standard burn that forces the meta to be more diverse?

It's a synonym for prison decks or taxing decks. Lantern Control, Death and Taxes, and Hatebears are examples of fun police. Sometimes people have applied the term to Jund that has "policed" the format so degenerate decks don't get out of control, but that's a misuse of the term IMHO.

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.

To add a little more, the term "Fun Police" is used usually to describe a deck or strategy that just stops someone from playing Magic.
The defacto Fun Police deck in Modern is imho Lantern Control. Oh you want to win with creatures? Ensnaring Bridge. Oh you were hoping for a good top deck? Well my Lantern of Insight and various millrocks will make sure you just get to draw lands all game.

This, but also it can refer to the specific cards that make prison and stax strategies work, like Blood Moon, Chalice of the Void, Ensnaring Bridge, and Suppression Field.
