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~

My little frog survived!

It was an honor to place art with all of you <3 Thanks for bringing the fediverse community together with this event!

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

Damn, I missed it :/

Seems much nicer than the Reddit one

Look at that Canada finally got the maple leaf correct on their flag.

It's been real fun!

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.

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.

Someone even gave me a shadow. :)

Much white space

Very ponies

Wow

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

Few things to point out:

Go vegan!!! Yes!!!

Lot more My Little Pony than I was expecting...

Destiny community's in there

Love seeing all the Pokémon :)

I use Arch btw

Nice

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).

07 to all you pixel placers

That was so fun! Thanks for hosting this 😊

Is there a higher quality version perchance?

edit: i now realize that my browser is doing some weird anti-aliasing

When did this happen?? I didn't see it at all

I only got to participate in the last little bit there, but it was really fun!

Cudos to the guy who completed the south park characters . I am sorry I couldn't help after coloring cartman

I count finish my librewolf icon

Thank you for this!

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!

Seeing all the pixels come together and find their place with all the different design ideas going around is always fun to see.

Sooooo proud of you guys. Most of us have only been here for like a month and asked you created that? Big props! <3

I like the native wheel with the pride maple leaf and Canada goose.

Also, way too many My Little Ponies lol

So many ponies. I love it

It's over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute... :(

It was awesome!

Even my little works is survived.

Esperanto

RMS

Gachi Power xD

Thanks everybody!

Shout out to bronies for starting us out!

I see Nijika-chan, I'm happy.

Thanks everyone who helped with my logo AMOGUS and creating 9 different AMOGUS with me!

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!

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.
