In some ways maybe but the fact there is enough space for everyone and people don’t have to fight for it kinda defeats the most interesting aspects of Place if you ask me.
I strongly disagree. When everybody has a space and opportunity to draw is when it’s the most fun :)
Otherwise, it just turns into a toxic and unpleasant experience
Right? It’s a collaborative art piece, not a battleground!
I didn’t even know it was a thing
so much better
I see you’ve cropped out the gigantic bronie mural in the center
Looking at the screenshot at least, it looks like a load of computer nerds got together to respectfully collaborate instead of fighting over space like what happens on /r/place. I love it.
Yeah, I got tired trying to make one myself and took a long nap. When I got up, someone tried to finish part of it by filling up a large portion and correctly guessing which colors without having any idea what I was going for.
That’s heartwarming.

It’s less cluttered. Other than that idk
We have the blue corner we have the OSU logo, we have the German flag, and we have the crewmates. This feels complete, yes.
Nah, something is missing.
I don’t see a “connection timed out” corner. I don’t see a Windows taskbar. I don’t see people replicating Bad Apple. It feels wrong to not have these.
There is a Bad Apple frame in the upper part, at least. Not really the same but we’re getting there.
Remove the cringepto
There’s no unregistered hyper cam block yet and that makes me sad
Thanks to the kind stranger(s) who finished off my “RICE LOVE” doodle (top right) while I was sleeping <3

I’m gonna be honest here: It’s not.
This is like someone posting “homemade is so much better than eating out” and then they post a picture of a pickles, spam and mayo sandwich.
I mean sure, homemade can be better, but what you just posted isn’t. I’m sure you like it, though. But it doesn’t have general appeal at all.
Look, there’s a reason most of the canvas is blank.
But you probably like the lack of activity.
So enjoy it, I guess.
All occurrences of Reddit place after the first were heavily botted. The first one was the best one IMO.
I think this speaks to a general difference between Reddit and Lemmy that we’ve all experienced: on Reddit, you can participate with a massive community, but your voice will likely be drowned out by everyone else plus all the bots. On Lemmy, you have to engage with a smaller community, but you can be sure your voice will be heard in that community.
With Reddit place, you probably couldn’t point to the finished product and say “that pixel right there is one I placed” unless you were exceptionally lucky. With canvas, you absolutely can, but as you rightly pointed out the work itself is less impressive looking.
The first one was botted as well near the end. I know because I wrote a tool to do it in about an hour using my private bot farm I had been building for years. I never gave it to anyone else because it was sloppy and integrated with the bot creation tools I had, and that would have revealed all of the tricks I used to create and protect the bot horde. But I used it myself, and I assume I was far from the only one with the same idea.
The interesting thing is that reddit basically condoned it. They are usually pretty decent at detecting bots if you don’t take measures to make them look human, but with place (at least the first time) they seemed to intentionally have that functionality disabled. I kind of assumed that they doing it specifically as a bit detection scheme, but they never cleaned house afterwards like I expected.
Reddit actively encouraged bots and automation during the original r/place:
https://www.redditinc.com/blog/how-we-built-rplace/The API should be generally open and transparent so the reddit community can build on it (bots, extensions, data collection, external visualizations, etc) if they choose to do so.
except the direct political ads :( aka the volt ad poster
Except for all the stupid MLP shit, I agree
