was a 5 year redditor before bailing last month but never paid attention to r/place until now (fascinating!)

can someone familiar with the inner workings of it please explain to me how it logistically works?

like how do they coordinate creating the flags, logos – most importantly the “fuck spez” messages’.

i believe i read a user can only change one pixel every so often? if true, how is it determined who puts something down, who goes next …etc.

any light anyone can shed on this would be much appreciated!

    There’s probably an internal concept of turns, but it’s not directly exposed to the user. You place a pixel, you wait 15 minutes, you can place another.

    As far as larger works of art, it’s a lot of people coordinating together and carefully crafting something.
