I spent way too much time on Place this time around. In 2017, I barely placed any pixels. This time, I was on all night at least one night (admittedly to play games; I happened to be up til like 7am, so why not protect some areas?). I even joined some a couple Discords for coordinated assistance.
By Sunday evening (US) and Monday, felt like it was getting a bit long in the tooth. Especially as streamers started taking over. I think reddit should've disallowed new accounts, only allowing participation to those made before Place started. But I also get that those internal new account metrics and engagement will probably look amazing this quarter. And that's what drives all social media in the end.
Still though, it turned out pretty nice. Maybe they'll bring back The Button and that chat splitting thing.
I am still mad about reddit Internal Server Error-ing me right in the middle of "the cascade" in Robin. Unfortunately, if reddit were to bring Robin back again, that'll sound even more "desparate"...

Unfortunately, if reddit were to bring Robin back again, that'll sound even more "desparate" than rehashing Place.
True. Place is neat, but I don't want to see a yearly return like some of the seemingly newer users are asking for. If we do it again in 5yrs, fine. Place, Robin, and The Button were original...

Place, Robin, and The Button were original ideas (well, never done before on reddit). Do something new again. I'm sure they can come up with something.
I spent about an hour or two on it this time around before I started noticing people using bots and alt accounts. I would place a square and then it immediately get overwritten. Then I just turned...
I spent about an hour or two on it this time around before I started noticing people using bots and alt accounts. I would place a square and then it immediately get overwritten. Then I just turned it off and went on vacation. I feel that something like Place would be even better with smaller communities instead of so public.
Honestly this year felt kind of disappointing because it seems like nationalism was going overdrive. People were trying to make their flags bigger and bigger and there were so many concentrated...
Honestly this year felt kind of disappointing because it seems like nationalism was going overdrive. People were trying to make their flags bigger and bigger and there were so many concentrated campaigns against them.
Then the streamers came along and used their followers to take up a lot of space, and I thought it was funny how even Place falls to capitalism.
/r/Place is the perfect 'April 1st is on a weekend' event. Even if it were once a year, it'd still be fine -- but every few years is even better. This year a few communities were using a...
/r/Place is the perfect 'April 1st is on a weekend' event. Even if it were once a year, it'd still be fine -- but every few years is even better.
This year a few communities were using a tampermonkey script to show which colors go where, which was really handy. The next time this comes around, I hope someone sets that up from the get-go.

This is a catalogue of most of everything created on r/place, which was in the works even before the project finished. It's quasi-official because reddit themselves pinned it for some time but didn't make it themselves. It currently has just over 7000 entries and anyone can add more if they know what some small pixel art that hasn't been added yet means or if the guy who made this approves another description of the same picture, which does happen, since you can only add new images or new descriptions to the same images, there is no editing others' descriptions ala Wikipedia, unfortunately.
It was a redo of one of reddit's April Fools social experiments. The premise is a canvas where anyone can place a single pixel every 5 min. It's a cooperative action game of a sort since you can't...
It was a redo of one of reddit's April Fools social experiments. The premise is a canvas where anyone can place a single pixel every 5 min. It's a cooperative action game of a sort since you can't build anything substantive by yourself.

Can I get some context on r/place? I’ve heard about it but don’t know what it is.
