Is it just me or is this going way better than r/place?
Is it just me or is this going way better than r/place?
Whenever Reddit hosted r/place, it got instantly dominated by streamers and massive clans covering the canvas in their insignia, anybody else who wanted to draw be damned. I remember in 2022 I was working with a smaller subreddit to try to put a 16x16 graphic somewhere unobtrusive and could scarcely put 3 pixels down before getting overwritten by the German flag that was already taking up 1/3 of the canvas.
On Canvas yesterday, somebody put up a ~50 pixels wide drawing of Princess Celestia fighting Nightmare Moon (something that wouldn't have survived 20 seconds on Reddit before being vandalized) and the people drawing the osu! logo went behind it!
I'm just kind of amazed and stunned and glad that we seem to be infinitely better at silently collaborating and not stepping on each other than the people on That Other Site who are obsessed with pointless internet clout.

@AVincentInSpace The template system is a big part of that since it makes active collaboration much easier, as long as the template authors are talking to each other then the rest of the community will automatically get new orders whenever they need to reload the page.
For example that battle was originally planned along the other diagonal, before being flipped in a deal with the osu! logo. Same thing happened later on with the Rocket League logo being moved from where the blue portal is.
