Has everyone else been enjoying wplace as much as I have?

If you're not in the know, wplace is one of those "paint a pixel" websites that was probably inspired by similar projects like pxls.space or more notably the reddit experiment, r/place. wplace is very similar to both of these except the main limiting factor, the canvas size, spans the entire planet.

Past years I was never too invested in actually making anything on these sites because A) the inevitability your work will get overwritten and B) the amount of time you need to wait before placing individual pixels. Well wplace kind of resolves both of those. With the whole damn map being a canvas you don't really need to fight anyone for space (except maybe if you live in europe with what's going on in Andorra for example.) And instead of one pixel at a time, you're given MANY pixels to place that regenerate 1 per 30s, which is great. With both of those being nonissues I've been having an amazing time and making lots of stuff both on my own and with friends :D

The biggest downside has been how seemingly *awful* the moderation team has been. Between straight up supporting the griefing "voids" and being very pick-and-choose when it comes to the types of drawings they remove.

Some stuff made so far either by myself or with a friend's help
