I know it's largely due to a smaller user base, and therefore smaller spread to overly popular personalities and groups, but this is so much nicer without the exceedingly large national flag patterns and huge streamer vanity projects.
this was so much fun~
Because of everything that happened on reddit I wasn't able to enjoy r/place much. So I am really happy that it happened here and it gave me a reason to finally create an account ^^ I feel proud for what I was able to do on the canvas and also happy how the canvas turned out. I'm excited for next year~
The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy
Honestly, I didn't expect my name to stay ("Rin", bottom left ish inside the green box). I made it expecting it to be quickly overwritten, but people just went around it.
Thank you for running this, grant. Appreciate all the hard work.
A very small percentage of folks will always whine about some grievance or point out what they feel should have been done differently, but 99.9% of everyone who engaged had a great time, thanks to you, and you won't hear anything from most of them.
I got covid for the first time as of last Friday, so we're self isolating and lying low, so this gave me something to focus on and do for long stretches, and it genuinely made a big difference.
I was able to draw my old high school notebook comic character Block Head at 2 o'clock on the Firefox logo completely unimpeded by griefers or vandals. It was really nice. Thanks again.
It was great fun, thanks for hosting it, and also thank you to everyone who didn't paint over my DAFC badge. I love that some nice folks painted the Trans flag there, and went underneath mine, and even left a nice single white pixel border, looks great!
I participated. It was awesome being able to make a difference just by spending some time on it. I never really felt that in Reddit (I didn't participate in the first one).
Wasn't able to participate until today but I managed to place that small pencil in the bottom left corner. Was a fun little project. Can't wait until next time!
Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.
Thanks so much for hosting this! It was so much fun and really heartwarming to be witness to such community cooperation and respect. Also, I’m really impressed by some of the art on here! Great job! Thank you everyone!
This was a lot of fun! I (briefly) participated in the first reddit place, but I didn't find it anywhere near as friendly or engaging as I found this.
Thanks to whoever started Calvin after I finished Hobbes and needed to take a break, I never would've gotten both done without you!
imho the canvas was a bit too large for the userbase. Sure it's cool that everyone got a spot but I liked the thrill of the "fights" every time two projects tried to occupy the same space. But I guess the "friendly nature" of canvas kind of reflects the current state of lemmy so it's okay :)
Well that was fun. I tried to help with programming.dev's checker pattern and I think I'm gonna see it on my dreams for a while. I also made the mario 3 frog suit cause why not.
