It’s sad watching it go away in real time. Pixels lost like tears in the rain.

Stupid question, but is there going to be an archive of the finished work before it got whited out? I know someone did it with the last one, but one we can zoom into would be pretty neat.

R/place is the sort of Subreddit that should’ve lasted longer, I know it was an April fools event. But each year in summer and everyone is enjoying the fun vibes coming with it, they should bring back R/place for an entire week in July

I think this is the perfect way to end it. No final image, it just goes back to the beginning. Our voyage is what truly mattered

So many low karma and lapsed accounts writing over actual coordinated efforts. Interesting concept, but people are too shitty for it to sustain.
