Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥

Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

      Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn’t have to fix up anything at all.

        Way less vandalism. I noticed the don’t got erased on the “don’t that on me” and I think that’s now gone entirely, probably because it’s now associated with Tea Partiers in the states.

    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.

    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

      There was a little. Like “banana for scale” became “bananada🇨🇦 for scale”. Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.

    This looks so polite, like everyone is nice to others. Just like lemmy.

    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~

    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.

    Thanks, that was interesting. Pretty different experience when there’s very little contention for space.
