MODERATORS
Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!
I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.
This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating! ♥
Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)
Future Events
I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!
I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

And all the cooperation that went into not messing up people’s art. I made a bisexual flag heart by the Aussie flag, and the bronies messaged me and said “we want to put something there but we will move your heart. Is that okay?” Which I thought was nice. Lots of people helping others too! Such a difference from the other place, and it reminds me why I moved to Lemmy.
That was the best part of the reddit place events as well, the diplomacy. Groups will help each other out to garner goodwill, it's the only way protect your area. There was something so fun about sliding into the DMs of a big group like the Germans, representing my group panicking about being under attack by some twitch streamer, then they might say, sorry we're defending somewhere else. Another time your trying to rally your team to go off and defend some other cause you care about. It's a simulation of world politics and it's beautiful.
That didn't happen as much with the Lemmy event because space wasn't scarce.
It did happen, but yeah, not as much. But the cool thing was, but for a few exceptions, people didn’t overwrite others’ art for malice or lols. And even the Amoogus played nice!
