/r/place is a recurring collaborative project and social experiment hosted on Reddit that first debuted on April Fools' Day in 2017. The experiment involves an online canvas where registered users can edit by changing the color of a single pixel from a 16-color palette every few minutes. This simple mechanic led to massive 'pixel wars,' where communities, subreddits, and streamers fought for territory to create elaborate artworks, flags, and logos. The resulting time-lapse videos and screenshots have become legendary, symbolizing both the toxic tribalism and the incredible collective creativity of the internet. In meme culture, /r/place is often used to represent community unity, the inevitable 'void' that consumes art, or the struggle to protect a tiny piece of digital real estate against overwhelming odds.
