r/place was Reddit's April Fools joke for 2017. Basically, it was a 1000 x 1000 pixel blank 'canvas'. Anyone with a more-than-a-month-old Reddit account could place a pixel on the canvas in one of 16 colors, but they then had to wait 5 minutes before placing another pixel. The idea was to encourage people to work together and create something.
It was pretty popular, there were a bunch of 'factions' trying to make different things, etc. If you want to know more about that just YouTube search "history of r/place".
r/place was shut down after 72 hours, almost immediately after that remakes started popping up like weeds.
r/place's slogan was 'Individually you can create something. Together we can create something more.'
...problem is, most people just banded together into little tribes. Kinda like life.

Social experiment carried out by Reddit in 2017 and 2022 (...) around April Fools, where every user could "paint" one pixel every five minutes on a 1000×1000 (and later expanding) canvas. The point of the experiment is creating a highly-competitive environment for people to form alliances and cooperate to "create something more".
My fandom group and one allied group created a picture in r/place, which we were able to defend together until the very end.
