We should have our own /c/place
With blackjack, and hookers!
And the music from Twin Peaks!
How can you have that place w/o coke?
Reject r/place. Embrace pxls space
Real OGs remember drawball. the birthplace of polandball.
I love projects like this, but I wish we could recapture the limited nature of place along with the sheer amount of engagement. I have no idea how it would work, but I’d love to see large scale limited time events like this take place with instance administrator support and integration into the fediverse somehow.
I’d call it the FediCanvas. Could be a regular event from all over the fediverse.
What about “Canverse?”
I’ve seen it done at geek conventions, to excellent effect. They generally live on a big screen, in the bar, at such events.
Though they can degenerate into ego wars, in amusing ways. One event had to ask people to limit using external systems to access the pixel wall in the bar. Someone used AWS to run animations on it. It tied up 2/3 of the entire event’s fibre backbone, still they killed it’s access. I think it was a 10Gb fibre setup. So they effectively DOSed it.
I imagine a programmer unaware of anything that’s going on writing the code for the latest, greatest /r/place feature, getting so wrapped up on the project that they don’t realize it’s not April anymore, smiling proudly and announcing loudly when they deliver their pride and joy. Only to see it be transformed into a big penis that shoots out the letters API.
Reddit is becoming a clusterfuck.
Always has been
I was there in 2017. It was glorious. I refused to participate in 2022. It was a cheap imitation. I won’t even give it an ounce of thought in 2023. It’s a disappointment.
Swap your first date with 2010 and that’s the Reddit experience in a nutshell, lol.

This is the best idea. Even better than “fuck spez”, tbh.

Let’s get organized then! @Ruud
There should be a mega thread on Lemmy for brigading Place.
Activate the ‘fuck spez’ detection algorithm. Omg, it’s full of dicks
Last year’s r/place event was beautiful and just amazing overall. The communities all coordinated and I was really taken aback by the final product. How this year’s one will turn out is anybody’s guess. I’m pretty sure even Spez is aware of this, so this just looks like a desperate attempt to drive engagement, even if most of it is negative.
We’re bringing back something many of you actually asked us for.
The fucking nerve of them lol
r/Place was insanely popular… Popular enough that people bitched for a few years before they brought it back. Now Reddit’s in the corner and they’re trying to bring r/Place back. On one hand I’m very curious how it’ll turn out this year. On the other, I won’t be doing anything to it because I really don’t care for Reddit to use the community’s art as a reason for them to generate more traffic and more profit.
Just write “f*ck reddit, come to lemmy!”
I’m not going back to Reddit.
I’m ESPECIALLY not going back to see u/chtorr and other admins cheat on r/place just because they don’t like what someone else did with their master plan for it.
I hope it’s covered in protest-themed art they can’t erase fast enough. At least that way I’ll get a good laugh out of it.
I forgot they were actively blanking out things they didn’t like. What was that cat mascot they were butthurt about?
Lmao the header image on their modnews post about it appears to have a pixelated dumpster fire.
Can’t make this shit up
Right dead center. That had to be intentional.
I got banned last time because I was helping draw naked ladies.

Frankly, I think your artistic aspirations in this regard should be celebrated, not banned. But then again I’m not a Reddit admin, so there’s that.
What about a /c/place version on lemmy?
That would require a bit of work to implement and might be hard on the server.
