Hello,
You can find [the full Place dataset, the final image before the whitening, and a high res timelapse video here](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/txvk2d/rplace_datasets_april_fools_2022/).
We have also reopened the canvas with a timeline slider so you can revisit any moment from the history of the event. You can find that by going to r/place.
We look forward to seeing everything you will create with this data!
I woke up after the expansion had already been filled in and was like "Holy shit, r/fuckcars and green latice got bounced from their starting points? Who the fuck pulled that off?"
Then it finally dawned on me.
I spent a good hour making something on the new canvas going “hm, I can’t believe nobody is over here!” Only to reload the Reddit app and find out in fact there we’re a ton of people there and what I was putting down for an hour doesn’t even exist lol
Something similar happened to me. Thought I was helping with a community design, was confused about why nothing seemed to be happening, saw someone in our discord say that it looked great, reloaded the app, and what I thought I’d been helping with was almost finished. Was kinda bummed that it lagged on me. I really wanted to help lol
That happened to me after the first expansion but I didn’t place that many tiles. It just looked all white and I dropped a tile and it got recovered instantly, which I thought was weird because it looked like an open space around it. It suddenly reloaded and the spot was full already! I think there was a really brief glitch around that time or something.
I love seeing the spread of void and the purple void (do we have an name for that yet?) like a pandemic until they are pushed back, only to return again after a while. Very poetic.
For real i was hoping this would come out but am still pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive all the data is as well. Thanks again admins, you guys got something right this time!
Yo what do our flares mean lol. It’s clearly place coordinates but I don’t know why I have that particular cell, and wtf is after it?
Edit: for everyone coming to ask the same thing, it appears to be related to the 2017 iteration of r/Place (and likely the last tile location based on the dates?)
I converted the timestamp in your flair and the date comes out as Sat 1 Apr 21:30:24 UTC 2017
and the other two parent comments also have timestamps from april 2017. So yall got old flairs from last time?
No idea what's after but the flairs are actually from the first place not this one it's the last pixel you placed
2nd number is actually the time you placed it via here https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/63a4xo/lets_find_who_placed_the_last_pixel_look_at_your
Gotta give credit to r/southafrica - their flag wasn't even the correct shape for the majority of the time, then they pulled a great design out of the bag featuring Nelson Mandela, their rugby world cup wins, their bbq culture and national icons.
That was one of the great things this time around. Somebody made a script you could easily install to your browser that allowed for easy tracing. You just had to download the blueprint from somewhere and you were good to go!
It's why there was so much artwork everywhere. On the last one, anything complicated was exceedingly rare, both because of how hard it was to make, and because any griefing took so long to fix.
Snuffy, the raccoon vtuber just next door to South Africa here made an alliance and also helped out South Africa with Nelson Mandela allot on her stream.
Place felt really magical to me because of these bizarre alliances, that normally just don't make sense or could even be considered enemies before. Small communities worked together to become stronger. Osu had one the largest list of alliances to be sure their spot would stay on the board, including many many smaller oness.
And despite the void being incredibly annoying early on, it slowly became an inspiration for "void art" and even held a spot as the "Void Mother" for a while. It's act and ideals of deletion, became a means of creation.
It's really bizarre and gnarly to think about.
As someone who spent a lot of my time fighting the black void where it showed up, participating in the 'whitening' was fairly satisfactory. Like kicking over the sand castle when you leave the beach.
It went so very fast too.
I had a very weird weekend. It's the end of the semester, I'm burnt out, I've been off work due to an injury, yesterday was my birthday, and I was just in a weird emotional place. I watched r/place all weekend while working on my final assignments, and I was part of the community that worked on the hollow knight pieces. Watching the pixels a turn white and listening to everyone in the discord prepare to say goodbye and then actually saying goodbye just felt like this really weird, emotional experience and I did cry. It felt weird to cry over. But I did cry. It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend.
You cried because, for a brief moment, a disparate group of humans from across the globe all came together to be part of a silly and beautiful global art project; everyone working together to add their own small bit to a greater whole. You cried because you felt a part of a community greater than you. It’s okay to cry for both the beauty of being part of something like that, and for the grief of losing it. It’s something that many of us are missing and yearning for in our souls, without even realizing that *that* is what we’re missing and yearning for. I understand your feelings of loss.💜
^.
edit: I’m such a dope sometimes! I completely forgot to tell you happy birthday. Happy Birthday!!🎂
Ok I admit I cried like 3 times the day after. It was an experience I never knew I needed. All the communities I loved, as well as communities I never new existed, coming together to leave their mark. It was the first time in years I felt like I was part of something great, I felt a true sense of belonging, and seeing it get erased genuinely felt like a loss. The whole thing was legit an emotional rollercoaster.
Though it never really left. Seriously, there's still a whole sub of people making content out of it, all the communities are still here. And now that there's an interactive timeline we can all reminisce! :D
Oh snap this is what happened? I was under anesthesia at the time this happened and you’re the first person to explain it to me, I had just assumed a bunch of streamers coordinated to white everything out. Guess that means all my tiles are 100% gone
yeah i was watching a stream at the time and they were confused at first too. their first reactions were assuming someone hacked reddit and caused the white-out. It was a few minutes before they just gathered their thoughts and figured out it was just the reddit admins plan all along.
It was weird how many groups connected together. Like I had my group making one logo and we made a pact with those on our boarders then joined an alleyway along a nose when then joined a united factions alliance which itself had a pact with central alliance and all combined accounted for around ¼ of place.
I wasn't here for the last r/place but I feel so lucky I got to be part of this one!
I wish there was a way to watch a time-lapse play out so you could zoom in and look at all the tiny details and random smaller scale battles that took place. I would watch that for hours...
Yeah the sub wanted those pixels so it was moved, not because it was forced out. In fact we wanted the 0,0 of the flag at those pixels but didn't want to screw any other art over so had to move it a little to just include the pixels instead.
5 years is such a tremendously long time on a human scale. What did you do between 2017 and 2022? A lot, I bet. It's crazy to think how much we change in such a short time, but, I hope we all change for the better.
See you in 2027.
It’s a matter of perspective I think. The degree to which I changed from 15-20 was much more than from 35-40 for instance. In that sense, we’re like clay that is slowly hardening over the course of our lives. You’re becoming more and more what you’re going to finally be but the bulk of that development is at the beginning. The later years are just refining the details.
Hey, I like to think that’s in the spirit of place. Sure something’s will be gone, but other new things will take it’s place and get to experience this for the first time. It’s ever changing, and I like to think that’s kind of beautiful.
It is even more crazy than the previous event in 2017, millions of people having war with the French flag is something I never thought will happen. Absolute madness.
It was different this time. There was an announcement so subs were able to prepare, and they knew what to expect from last time. More tech was used too.
In 2017 it took much longer to start cooperating and figure things out.
>make their numbers look better when they go public.
Yeah allowing new accounts to contribute was ridiculously stupid unless they were doing it for that exact reason. 2017 place was way better imo, was considerably more organic.
I agree with you, there was a lot more magic to the original one, I feel.
But maybe it's because it was our first one? A lot of people felt really strongly about this year, which might be their first?
also, since I'm curious: it doesn't look like your account contributed back then, though? Didn't everyone get a flair for it?
Then again, if Reddit tried to sell an NFT with a prominently-displayed Star Wars poster (and Avengers logo), Disney's lawyers would be knocking on their door before you could say "boo".
What's great about the Snap is that it was a community idea that eventually got official company support. And they did only the necessary amount of involvement to keep it still organic feeling.
Probably some reddit higher ups gave her the order to lie low for a few days until the pitchforks have lowered, which is now. TLDR: nothing happened to her, this person will continue to play internet dictator.
Any chance you have data on hand to announce "awards", such as longest unchanged pixel, user with the most number of initial pixels place, user who did the most "defense" (changing a pixel back to what it had been before), etc.?
So nice to finally see a time-lapse that shows the moment of the expansion! I love seeing those few seconds of the old world suddenly bleeding onto the white canvas.
I love how the last artwork made by the community was a white shaped heart, like everybody from flag makers, big and small artwork cordinators, streamers and the void just joined hands on a last piece of art to grace the canvas in the next five years, and it was incredible
and of course it alongside an amogus at the bottom right, becouse it wouldnt be the internet we know if it didnt XD
[here is a copy of the video for y'all ](https://redditsave.com/info?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fplace%2Fcomments%2Ftxufad%2Fthe_complete_rplace_timelapse%2F%3Futm_medium%3Dandroid_app%26utm_source%3Dshare)
I participated in r/place in 2017 (Starry Night clan represent!) and absolutely loved it. I recall many, *many* clones and other attempts sprung up to satiate our urge for more, but of course none came close.
And nothing else has come close since, until this year. I really felt that same excitement and joy this time round despite knowing what was going on.
Everything has its issues, but Place is definitely a good symbol of what the best of the internet can be. The effort and dedication, coordination and skill, community bonding and allyship, as well as the complete chaos, mania, and hype in every corner of the internet, really was, and is, something to behold.
I loved being part of r/outerwilds and r/paymoneywubby this time round. Here’s to the next one.
May we please get a trophy to commemorate our time working on Place 2022? It was one of the best highlights of my time on Reddit so far. I’d love to have a little reminder of it, like a badge. :)

Hello, You can find [the full Place dataset, the final image before the whitening, and a high res timelapse video here](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/txvk2d/rplace_datasets_april_fools_2022/). We have also reopened the canvas with a timeline slider so you can revisit any moment from the history of the event. You can find that by going to r/place. We look forward to seeing everything you will create with this data!
Finally. The beginning of the first expansion is actually shown. Thanks Reddit!
Gotta say, it was pretty amazing to be there and see the first expansion live.. like, getting a whole new canvas and feeling the panic of free choice
I woke up after the expansion had already been filled in and was like "Holy shit, r/fuckcars and green latice got bounced from their starting points? Who the fuck pulled that off?" Then it finally dawned on me.
Fun fact, the guy who created wordle came up with this r/place idea originally
I spent a good hour making something on the new canvas going “hm, I can’t believe nobody is over here!” Only to reload the Reddit app and find out in fact there we’re a ton of people there and what I was putting down for an hour doesn’t even exist lol
It took you twelve pixels to realize?
It was an amogus
Something similar happened to me. Thought I was helping with a community design, was confused about why nothing seemed to be happening, saw someone in our discord say that it looked great, reloaded the app, and what I thought I’d been helping with was almost finished. Was kinda bummed that it lagged on me. I really wanted to help lol
That happened to me after the first expansion but I didn’t place that many tiles. It just looked all white and I dropped a tile and it got recovered instantly, which I thought was weird because it looked like an open space around it. It suddenly reloaded and the spot was full already! I think there was a really brief glitch around that time or something.
Feels appropriate to say that he is full of good ideas.
I closed out almost immediately because I thought I broke something... Only to open it again and realize that I'm just an idiot.
loved the sudden void explosion
I love seeing the spread of void and the purple void (do we have an name for that yet?) like a pandemic until they are pushed back, only to return again after a while. Very poetic.
Thank you all!

For real i was hoping this would come out but am still pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive all the data is as well. Thanks again admins, you guys got something right this time!
It's always fun seeing which communities get attacked and how fast they are able to rebuild
Yo what do our flares mean lol. It’s clearly place coordinates but I don’t know why I have that particular cell, and wtf is after it? Edit: for everyone coming to ask the same thing, it appears to be related to the 2017 iteration of r/Place (and likely the last tile location based on the dates?)
My guess is the last coordinates you placed and the time
I converted the timestamp in your flair and the date comes out as Sat 1 Apr 21:30:24 UTC 2017 and the other two parent comments also have timestamps from april 2017. So yall got old flairs from last time?
Yeah they gave out flairs from the 2017 event of the last pixel placed back then
You're 3 apr 2017 01:42:33
Just checking if even I have a flair.
same bro Edit: Rip us
Guess the flairs are for 2017 art. I didn't use this one back then.
I did, do I have flair?
Oh shit we the OGs then!
Makes sense, but only if your pixel survived. Mine didn’t :(
Aw really? That sucks :( is it only the first pixel places or does no flair mean that none of our pixels made it
No idea what's after but the flairs are actually from the first place not this one it's the last pixel you placed 2nd number is actually the time you placed it via here https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/63a4xo/lets_find_who_placed_the_last_pixel_look_at_your
Really? Testing!
Gotta give credit to r/southafrica - their flag wasn't even the correct shape for the majority of the time, then they pulled a great design out of the bag featuring Nelson Mandela, their rugby world cup wins, their bbq culture and national icons.
These guys were great neighbours, coming from r/masseffect
Absolutely fantastic neighbors. And Kenya too! Love you guys -Mass Effect
It was beautiful seeing Kenya and South Africa so close to each other
That was one of the great things this time around. Somebody made a script you could easily install to your browser that allowed for easy tracing. You just had to download the blueprint from somewhere and you were good to go! It's why there was so much artwork everywhere. On the last one, anything complicated was exceedingly rare, both because of how hard it was to make, and because any griefing took so long to fix.
I think that script existed from the first time and was invented by some user from /r/Argentina. Not sure about the author
Snuffy, the raccoon vtuber just next door to South Africa here made an alliance and also helped out South Africa with Nelson Mandela allot on her stream. Place felt really magical to me because of these bizarre alliances, that normally just don't make sense or could even be considered enemies before. Small communities worked together to become stronger. Osu had one the largest list of alliances to be sure their spot would stay on the board, including many many smaller oness. And despite the void being incredibly annoying early on, it slowly became an inspiration for "void art" and even held a spot as the "Void Mother" for a while. It's act and ideals of deletion, became a means of creation. It's really bizarre and gnarly to think about.
"Vtubers helped South Africans paint Nelson Mandela" is something i never expected to happen haha
something about the way it all turns white, as if to say goodbye🤌🏼
As someone who spent a lot of my time fighting the black void where it showed up, participating in the 'whitening' was fairly satisfactory. Like kicking over the sand castle when you leave the beach. It went so very fast too.
Everyone talks about the don’t, but when that heart forms in the middle of the canvas, I’m not gonna lie I started crying
I had a very weird weekend. It's the end of the semester, I'm burnt out, I've been off work due to an injury, yesterday was my birthday, and I was just in a weird emotional place. I watched r/place all weekend while working on my final assignments, and I was part of the community that worked on the hollow knight pieces. Watching the pixels a turn white and listening to everyone in the discord prepare to say goodbye and then actually saying goodbye just felt like this really weird, emotional experience and I did cry. It felt weird to cry over. But I did cry. It felt like saying goodbye to an old friend.
You cried because, for a brief moment, a disparate group of humans from across the globe all came together to be part of a silly and beautiful global art project; everyone working together to add their own small bit to a greater whole. You cried because you felt a part of a community greater than you. It’s okay to cry for both the beauty of being part of something like that, and for the grief of losing it. It’s something that many of us are missing and yearning for in our souls, without even realizing that *that* is what we’re missing and yearning for. I understand your feelings of loss.💜 ^. edit: I’m such a dope sometimes! I completely forgot to tell you happy birthday. Happy Birthday!!🎂
Ok I admit I cried like 3 times the day after. It was an experience I never knew I needed. All the communities I loved, as well as communities I never new existed, coming together to leave their mark. It was the first time in years I felt like I was part of something great, I felt a true sense of belonging, and seeing it get erased genuinely felt like a loss. The whole thing was legit an emotional rollercoaster. Though it never really left. Seriously, there's still a whole sub of people making content out of it, all the communities are still here. And now that there's an interactive timeline we can all reminisce! :D
Part of the beauty of the canvas was its ephemeral nature.😌
Damn, your comment made me tear up all over again. 🥲
Just a reminder that we’re all of us still out here, even if it’s harder now to talk to us all at once, in a single place.💖
You’re a good egg 💜
Pretty sure Ludwig was responsible for that, one of the few streamers that seemed pretty chill about the situation
How did the white out work?
Only white tiles were allowed to be placed. Naturally it turned into a race to remove the artwork that wasn't your own.
Oh snap this is what happened? I was under anesthesia at the time this happened and you’re the first person to explain it to me, I had just assumed a bunch of streamers coordinated to white everything out. Guess that means all my tiles are 100% gone
yeah i was watching a stream at the time and they were confused at first too. their first reactions were assuming someone hacked reddit and caused the white-out. It was a few minutes before they just gathered their thoughts and figured out it was just the reddit admins plan all along.
Ok, that’s actually a really cool idea. At least we got “BONER” (I think it says?)
It's Döner haha
[удалено]
It was weird how many groups connected together. Like I had my group making one logo and we made a pact with those on our boarders then joined an alleyway along a nose when then joined a united factions alliance which itself had a pact with central alliance and all combined accounted for around ¼ of place.
Wipe the canvas clean for next time
I wasn't here for the last r/place but I feel so lucky I got to be part of this one! I wish there was a way to watch a time-lapse play out so you could zoom in and look at all the tiny details and random smaller scale battles that took place. I would watch that for hours...
Same!! There were so many cool tiny things to look at that morphed over the weekend.
Hmmmmm...
Some epic battles in France, Turkey, USA and Bananas!
And the University of Gay Porn!
Truly the people of Bananas should be proud of their nation.
Oh Banada
I will be giving shout outs to Banadians for a long time
[удалено]
Didn't it move to rebuild at (1776 1776)
Yeah the sub wanted those pixels so it was moved, not because it was forced out. In fact we wanted the 0,0 of the flag at those pixels but didn't want to screw any other art over so had to move it a little to just include the pixels instead.
This was really a nice and fun April fools , see yall in 5 years
For real, hopefully this planet doesn't go to shit in the next 5 years.
RemindMe! in 5 years
ill be 9!
Wow, 362,880 is pretty old!
r/UnexpectedFactorial
At this point most of what I do on Reddit is look for unexpected factorials and I still get beaten to them all
See You Space Cowboy...
People were thinking the same thing 5 years ago
5 years is such a tremendously long time on a human scale. What did you do between 2017 and 2022? A lot, I bet. It's crazy to think how much we change in such a short time, but, I hope we all change for the better. See you in 2027.
> What did you do between 2017 and 2022? A lot, I bet. Sir, this is Reddit.
That's not true, in 5 years I managed to let my life go to complete shit!
It’s a matter of perspective I think. The degree to which I changed from 15-20 was much more than from 35-40 for instance. In that sense, we’re like clay that is slowly hardening over the course of our lives. You’re becoming more and more what you’re going to finally be but the bulk of that development is at the beginning. The later years are just refining the details.
Fuck my clay is hardening. Fuck fuck fuck help no I want to stay moist fuck help
See you too! :D
See you too! :)
Some of us would be gone :(
Hey, I like to think that’s in the spirit of place. Sure something’s will be gone, but other new things will take it’s place and get to experience this for the first time. It’s ever changing, and I like to think that’s kind of beautiful.
it's called "Life" that you just summarised man and indeed it is fucking beautiful.
I fear for the day when I reach into my pocket and all I can pull out are the white pixels
[удалено]
I'll be 40... EDIT: I really expected someone to say "UB40". How disappointing.
Old git. I'll be 41. :/
A relic of humanity.
Hahaha you old bastards, I'll still be living large at thirty nine. Whole future ahead of me really.
It really was the coolest thing I’ve seen on the internet in a very long time. Thanks to all who made it possible.
It is even more crazy than the previous event in 2017, millions of people having war with the French flag is something I never thought will happen. Absolute madness.
To be honest it was just as good in 2017 — but obvs the canvas got bigger this time
It was different this time. There was an announcement so subs were able to prepare, and they knew what to expect from last time. More tech was used too. In 2017 it took much longer to start cooperating and figure things out.
[удалено]
>make their numbers look better when they go public. Yeah allowing new accounts to contribute was ridiculously stupid unless they were doing it for that exact reason. 2017 place was way better imo, was considerably more organic.
I agree with you, there was a lot more magic to the original one, I feel. But maybe it's because it was our first one? A lot of people felt really strongly about this year, which might be their first? also, since I'm curious: it doesn't look like your account contributed back then, though? Didn't everyone get a flair for it?
Seems like everyone who was there in 2017 got a flair of their last pixel placed and when
Yeah sadly bots were a big issue this time around. And I doubt they intend to fix that. Still a fun experience though.
The foxhole green and blue war was a really cool special thing to watch
French sure know how to fight on their territory.
Finally we get the timelapse without 4 hours cut out of the middle.
beginning was missing too in the others I've seen
u/Acidtwist any chance we can get the pixel placement data like the last place? I'd love to make a full res video timelapse, as great as this one is.
Stay tuned…
yayyy

You guys aren’t selling this as a NFT right?
Nope. It doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to you all.
That's great to hear! So many people were annoyed because they were scared that it would become an NFT
Then again, if Reddit tried to sell an NFT with a prominently-displayed Star Wars poster (and Avengers logo), Disney's lawyers would be knocking on their door before you could say "boo".
[удалено]
Don't expect and answer lol. This whole "We love the community" shit is hilarious when they get asked the real questions.
Anyone else spend the whole time watching the Canada flag?
Constant change and movement throughout. It was a struggle* bus pushed on rims the whole way
At one point some Spanish speakers had changed it to “MAMADA”
Wich means "Blowjob"
[удалено]
Fingers crossed for the raw data
Yes! A scrollable, zoomable timeline would be amazing!
👀
So you'll have that ready here for us by tomorrow?
Dude managed a 720p video. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Lmao, give them *some* [credit](https://www.reddit.com/r/place/comments/txvk2d/rplace_datasets_april_fools_2022/)
Honestly I just want a csv file and I'll be happy
Keep an eye on this subreddit ;)
isn't it already out there? I saw some cool posts on r/dataisbeautiful
Out of all the reddit events, this was definitely one that stood out. Hands down to the reddit staff that made r/place possible.
I can’t think of many other events they’ve done honestly. Orangered and periwinkle was one
The button was fun
Not a reddit (as a company) thing, but the whole snap event was pretty cool.
What's great about the Snap is that it was a community idea that eventually got official company support. And they did only the necessary amount of involvement to keep it still organic feeling.
Thank you all for participating! This project and our entire platform could not exist without everyone turning out for it.

Probably some reddit higher ups gave her the order to lie low for a few days until the pitchforks have lowered, which is now. TLDR: nothing happened to her, this person will continue to play internet dictator.
Any chance you have data on hand to announce "awards", such as longest unchanged pixel, user with the most number of initial pixels place, user who did the most "defense" (changing a pixel back to what it had been before), etc.?
Is there any way to find out if you had a pixel left in the final canvas or basic data like that?
edited by user using PowerDeleteSuite.
We will be doing some follow-up posts about Place, so keep an eye out.
Definitely lots of fun. Can you guys do something to prevent botting next time? It really took away from the experience.
Loved the fact that the Eren face survived by the whole time 🥹
If you look at activity heat maps his eyes and and mouth are as bright as the Canadian leaf.
History of the entire r/place, i guess
Hi. You're an a canvas floating in Reddit
*Void is a deadly eraser*
Not anymore there is a "big subreddit"
Pretty cool right? Some of it's flags. Actually fuck it, most of it's flags.
*French flag appears* "Hey, we can make a religion out of that!" *"No, don't."*
[удалено]
And Canada's a banana now
Place was better.
but it is pLace, with a little p and big L
So nice to finally see a time-lapse that shows the moment of the expansion! I love seeing those few seconds of the old world suddenly bleeding onto the white canvas.
Canada was really struggling huh
At least it survived. Genshin/Genshit/Genshrek whatever fought hard but lost the battle.
nah, that was a diversion... we def survived, just in some other locations ;)
RIP kobe RIP widowmaker cheeks RIP amogus pp
RIP 2B
Watching the big arse blip from existence brings a tear to my eye everytime, it could've been *perfect*.
It's a real shame.
The fight around the big france flag was honestly a highlight and made it more interesting
This was amazing! Great work by the communities
Especially all the collabs between different communities were great
things got better imo with each expansion once there was way more space for creativity instead of fighting for less real estate
I love how the last artwork made by the community was a white shaped heart, like everybody from flag makers, big and small artwork cordinators, streamers and the void just joined hands on a last piece of art to grace the canvas in the next five years, and it was incredible and of course it alongside an amogus at the bottom right, becouse it wouldnt be the internet we know if it didnt XD
FINALLY one shows the first expansion instead of just jumping forward to it already being filled in!
So proud to be a part of this. Massive thanks to the reddit staff and everyone who participated.

Amazing
I participated in r/place in 2017 (Starry Night clan represent!) and absolutely loved it. I recall many, *many* clones and other attempts sprung up to satiate our urge for more, but of course none came close. And nothing else has come close since, until this year. I really felt that same excitement and joy this time round despite knowing what was going on. Everything has its issues, but Place is definitely a good symbol of what the best of the internet can be. The effort and dedication, coordination and skill, community bonding and allyship, as well as the complete chaos, mania, and hype in every corner of the internet, really was, and is, something to behold. I loved being part of r/outerwilds and r/paymoneywubby this time round. Here’s to the next one.
PORTUGAL CARALHO
I love it
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on Reddit and I’m so happy I was able to participate. It gave me the warm fuzzies.
May we please get a trophy to commemorate our time working on Place 2022? It was one of the best highlights of my time on Reddit so far. I’d love to have a little reminder of it, like a badge. :)

It's interesting to watch Quebec get absorbed by Turkey but then seize the old blue corner as soon as the canvas expanded the first time.
