![]() Drawings began to appear around the canvas, colorful pokemon and neon rainbows, coordinated by online friend groups and subreddits and Discord servers. And thus, the social experiment that was the original r/place began. ![]() I place this color here, you place this color there. However, a select few users all around the canvas began to realize that maybe something substantial could be made if they only worked together. Making drawings was a grueling and long process, as one user could only sparsely place pixels, and anybody could draw over anybody else’s pixels. Slowly, users began to realize that they could place pixels of their own on the canvas, so long as they selected a color and only did so once every five to twenty minutes. About five years ago, now internet legend Josh Wardle (creator of Wordle), presented hundreds of Reddit users with a particularly peculiar subreddit-one that took form, not as a forum of text posts, but as a 1000 x 1000 pixel blank white canvas.
