Feel free to use this thread to discuss ideas and otherwise coordinate.

What is it?

You can sign in with almost any Fediverse account (ex. your lemmy account, mastodon account, etc.). Afterwards, you will be able to place a pixel every 30 seconds or so. By working together, people make (and break) different designs.

You shouldn't need to give away your login information to authenticate. For me, the system asked for my instance and username, then sent me a message with the verification code.

What should we do?

I don't think we have any templates yet, so you're open to suggest a Canada wide design, or smaller specific ones. In the meantime, just have fun :)

It's inspired by a game / social experiment Reddit did a few years ago, where every account can only place one pixel every now and then. Over time, people can work together to make different designs.

Often we had a Canadian flag, and various symbols for different Canadian provinces, schools, or sports teams.

That's the idea here, only this one is open to the entire fediverse. I imagine it didn't get much advertising prior to the launch, and so it's quieter than the usual activity on the fediverse.

Right now I think we're looking for a design template to follow, so that we can work on something more effectively :)
