Hasn’t been botted yet
Ehm, look at the right side… The two things that look like a compressed jpg… No way those aren’t made by bots…
i think you can put templates on screen so its not necessarily botted
why not put a link?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.
Even Reddit’s follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.
You could argue that place was a copy. Before that you had The Million Dollar Homepage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage?wprov=sfla1) in 2005, where companies could buy a pixel for a dollar. I have a hard time believing that it didn’t have some influence over the creation of place.
“even”… i think reddit’s follow ups were least likely to succeed because they were the least organic!
place was special (at first) because it was a bunch of people with no time to plan and prepare… it was humans doing human things with all the limitations and creativity that came with that
other iterations of place were bots and pre-planned “stake our claim” rather than making something interesting and different… it was kinda all just the same as the last one but with subtle “meme of the moment” tweaks
You expressed my own thoughts in a better way than I ever could. I agree completely.
I wasn’t around for 2017 but 2022 was the most fun I’ve had with internet strangers in years, if not ever. Also no one was ready for the expanding canvas and everyone scrambling over it was beautiful.
so much better
I see you’ve cropped out the gigantic bronie mural in the center
In the center and every corner and also all the other places
Wish I could contribute but I’m on kbin

People have made a bunch of alternatives.
https://pixelcanvas.io/ looks like the most-practical to me, but some people may want the canvas constrained.
except the direct political ads :( aka the volt ad poster
Now if only it allowed you could login with KBin. :(
You can login with any service that can receive private messages from lemmy, which probably nothing can.
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.
Where cunnilingus
Holy shit since when did whe got this? why am i learning of this just now? And how do i participate?
There is also a community for it :)
It’s less cluttered. Other than that idk
I like it less cluttered. Reddit’s was always crowded and overwhelming, here you can actually see things.
You can also actually do things on it without it being a battle of a thousand bots.
Considering there is a pixel art image of Konqi, I’d definitely agree. There’s no Konqi on the other, as far as I am aware.
Ew, crypto.

I love how the screenshot is away from the bronies
