Hey all,

I’ve got an exciting thing to announce today, Canvas — Lemmy’s r/Place!

We need to get our own traditions over here in the Threadiverse, why not start off with our own r/Place

This weekend, we will open up a canvas to all Lemmy users, each user will be able to place 1 pixel every minute. This event will last 72 hours, starting midnight EST on the 4th and ending at 11:59pm EST on the 6th

...

If the plan was to provide evidence for the idea that Lemmy is a second-rate, tryhard copycat, well done!

This community is perfectly capable of generating its own traditions without trying to force it... and the fact that reddit recently tried to use r/Place to distract from the recent controversy makes this imitation that much sadder. If you're going to crib something, at least go for something that hasn't been touched for awhile.

beans is one of the most ubiquitous memes on the internet. It's not "ours" any more than r/place is.

Yeah the 3 day no poop guy is so far the only large Lemmy specific meme I've seen so far
