cross-posted from: https://toast.ooo/post/232185
Hey all,
I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!
We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place
This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th

Cool, but I would argue that we should be creating our own traditions, not copying... *checks notes ...a sad ploy to increase MAU numbers.
I mean, back in the day, the games we used to play on forums were stuff like "Google Images Word Association" where someone would produce a random image, then someone else uses words that image made them think of, then search images based on that, then add another image to the thread, based on their word-search. Resulted in a lot of dumb funny shit.
Anyway... Great idea, but it pains me that it's just copying some bullshit from reddit that wasn't about community but rather a weak attempt to gin up engagement metrics.
Yeah, sure, but hear me out, imma draw a dick
Well consider me sold, then!
