I have been sick all weekend, so haven't been a part of the main event. I just looked at what it'd take to put a simple Bluey on the right of the flag (I killed one of the amongus thingys).
Would be nice to get some Australian fedi instances (e.g. aussie.zone ) written in either the red or blue sections (I think red might be better?) using pixels that are one shade lighter or darker.
Next canvas we will. After this canvas I will make a post asking for suggestions on what other things to add to the flag, and for people to draw said other things :)
It always happens. People think it's funny to destroy/troll stuff someone has painstakingly created. I remember the poor Canadians couldn't make their maple leaf a few years ago on Place, because people kept vandalising it.
The same trolls that are attacking the flag have messed with the Union Jack itself. I haven't bothered with the template, so I can't be sure how to repair it. Maybe the Brits will wake up and fix it, soon.
Edit: Or not. The Canvas froze 4 minutes ago (12pm WST/2pm EST). We almost got it cleaned up.
Yeah thanks mate. I saw you helping out. It was hectic! I wasn't using the template either - just eyeballing stuff and trying to see what they changed to change it back. I knew it was freezing at 2pm.... so knew we just had to survive. I think it ended pretty well for us considering everything they threw at us in the last 3 hours.
I wish there was a real report system for these purposes; I've reported 3 or so users who were vandalising to grant over in the canvas community but haven't heard back from them.
The flag looked so perfect when I went to bed... Oh well
It's not over yet, though, and some users (at least two) have been constantly trying to vandalise the flag for a bit now...
Apart from that; it's been a lot of fun. I hope I didn't cross anyone with my pixel placement, I tried joining the Matrix room but it didn't really work
