For those not in the know, what is Canvas? I do not recall seeing this last year.

Like r/Place

It was there last year, but not many knew about it.

Ahh. Thank you for the info! I too was in that group who did not know! Can't wait to see what the final picture comes out as!

At least the fediverse can draw the Canadian flag. Reddit had a hard time

IIRC, the German Redditors drew a better Canadian flag than the Canadian Redditors did. I'm glad that the Canadians on the fediverse seem to be organized a bit better.

"No border, no nation, no gods, no masters, never gonna..." got me good. As bad as other things are, this is a delightful moment in the Fediverse, and you're all a delight to share it with.

Why, it's almost carrit farmin' season already!

How does it work? I can't find any info about that in !canvas@toast.ooo at least not in the description or a pinned post

when the event goes live, it'll be a website you can login to and place pixels
