Thanks for the interesting article.

There is no way the fediverse can reimplement r/place feature by feature. A federated Place would have to be different. It could be a month long project ora even permanent one, probably with a slower update rate.

I like the idea of people seeing different things depending on the server they use and who that server federates with or blocks (https://lemmy.world/comment/1749093).

But maybe the fediverse should look for its own thing rather than try to imitate.

Very cool, but this is not federated.

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

Honestly I wouldn’t want anything baked into the protocol, but I can see people donating small amounts to the instance hosting a worthy comment if there was a simple enough way to do it.

Cryptocurrencies were supposed to enable that, but I think we are still a long way away (no, lighting does not qualify).
