In the wake of Reddark, a movement that saw thousands of subreddits go down in protest of monetisation around third-party apps, Reddit's r/place is now calling for reform, through the power of collaborative pixel artistry.
Often referred to as the "Pixel War", r/place is considered a pixel art haven. It's a kind of social experiment subreddit that emerges every now and then, where users can contribute to an expansive digital art board, adding a single pixel every five minutes or so depending on whether their account email is verified. Especially well-coordinated collectives often conspire, plotting intricate takeovers in certain parts of the board to get their message across.
