It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Not surprised that dumbass doesn't even understand what POV means.
Honestly there are so many memes I've seen that say "POV" but clearly aren't from the POV of the subject and I still don't understand what the deal with this is
This is almost becoming my pet project, but I think a lot of it can be attributed to a sort of fundamental irrationality in "the algorithm" that is self-reinforcing. Especially since this trend came from Tik Tok, which has refined its algorithm to a T.
Like at some point an algorithm saw that people stayed .05 seconds longer on Tik Toks with "POV" in the title, and they started pushing those videos to peoples pages. And then some people saw that videos with POV in the title get 20% more views and start putting POV in all their titles no matter the relevance, and the algorithm picks that up, etc etc.
